  • Publication number: 20130055981
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the simplified and accurately positioned fixing of a camshaft module with a camshaft and bearing blocks on a cylinder head. The bearing blocks, aligned in axial direction and with respect to an angle, may be fastened on the camshaft. The camshaft may be aligned via two alignment elements with respect to the cylinder head. Further, the individual bearing blocks may be screwed tightly with the cylinder head with simultaneous or interim rotation of the camshaft.

  • Publication number: 20130019824
    Abstract: A camshaft for a combustion engine has a shaft and at least one cam thermally joined to a joining surface on the shaft side via a joining surface on the cam side. The shaft is embodied as a drawn and not additionally worked tube. Because of this the production of commercial vehicle camshafts can be realised in a more cost-effective manner since these do not have to be additionally ground or turned.

  • Publication number: 20130019823
    Abstract: The invention relates to a camshaft for an internal combustion engine with a shaft and at least one cam joined therewith, which is connected via a joining surface on the cam side with a joining surface on the shaft side. The joining surface on the cam side and alternatively or additionally the joining surface on the shaft side may be constructed such that they have a predefined roughness. Hereby, the friction between the shaft and the cam can be increased. The invention further relates to a cam for such a camshaft and a method for the manufacture of such a camshaft or respectively of such a cam.

  • Publication number: 20120318224
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine may include at least one camshaft mounted via at least one bearing with at least one phase adjuster. The at least one bearing may be a rolling bearing. An oil feed ring may surround the camshaft adjacent to the rolling bearing, wherein the oil feed ring may have at least one external annular channel and at least one first radial bore aligned with a second radial bore in the camshaft. An outer diameter of the oil feed ring may be smaller than an outer diameter of the rolling bearing. An oil supply of the at least one phase adjuster may be introduced via an oil gallery defined in a cylinder head through the annular channel through the second radial bore into the camshaft.

  • Publication number: 20110114046
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine, having at least one camshaft, which is mounted in the radial direction via at least one bearing block supplied with bearing fluid, wherein in the region of the bearing block, two sealing rings are provided, which are axially spaced apart from each other and which seal an annular chamber supplied with bearing fluid and located between the camshaft and the associated bearing block at least partially in the axial direction.
