Abstract

A slide cam system includes a camshaft comprising a carrier shaft with slide cam elements that each comprise a slotted switching member having a switching groove. The slide cam elements are displaceable axially relative to the carrier shaft by an actuator pin. A displacement element is arranged parallel with a longitudinal axis of the carrier shaft, and the displacement element is axially displaceable in a direction of the longitudinal axis. The displacement element has a first coupling pin arranged in a region of the first slide cam element and a second coupling pin arranged in a region of the second slide cam element. The coupling pins cooperate with a slotted switching member of the associated slide cam element such that as a result of the displacement element a movement initiated by the actuator pin of the first slide cam element can be transmitted to the second slide cam element.

Abstract

A method for permanently fastening a cam on a cam carrier may involve positioning the cam on the cam carrier in a predefined axial and angular position. By way of the positioning, an end face of the cam carrier is aligned with an end face of the cam. The method may also involve positioning a cam segment formed by the cam carrier and the cam in an assembly device. The cam carrier may then be deformed such that the cam is secured at least in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner against movement in an axial direction on the cam carrier. A deformation tool of the assembly device may be advanced in an axial direction onto the end face of the cam carrier, and the cam carrier may be deformed such that material of the cam carrier is forced outward in a radial direction against the cam.

Abstract

A method for mounting a camshaft in a bearing line of a cylinder head cover of an internal combustion engine may involve mounting a sealing ring in a groove extending radially circumferentially on an outer diameter of the camshaft. The sealing ring may be at least partly formed of an elastically deformable polymer such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The method may further involve sliding a calibrating tool having a rotationally symmetrical opening onto the camshaft or sliding the camshaft into the calibrating tool. A smallest inside diameter of the rotationally symmetrical opening may be greater than an outside diameter of the camshaft in a region of the groove but less than an outside diameter of the sealing ring. Consequently, the sealing ring is pressed into the groove and is frictionally and interlockingly held in the groove.

A method concerns producing a cam profile of a cam pack with at least two cam elements that can be adjusted relative to each other. The camshaft may comprise an outer shaft, a rotatable inner shaft, a fixed cam element connected to the outer shaft, and an adjustment cam element connected to the inner shaft. The method may comprise processing an adjustment cam contour by a continuous diameter reduction of a segment of the adjustment cam base circle, wherein the adjustment cam base circle is reduced to a diameter that is smaller than a fixed cam nominal circle diameter minus a doubled adjustment cam base circle tolerance. The method may comprise processing a fixed cam contour by reducing a fixed cam contour protrusion in a region between a transition point and a processing point. Upon reaching the transition point a tapping element for converting a revolving motion of the cam elements into a linear motion of the valves is transferred from the fixed cam element to the adjustment cam element.
