Abstract:
A camshaft module may include a shaft and at least one functional element. The functional element may have a functional element opening through which the shaft passes. The functional element may be fixed to the shaft in a seat portion of the shaft. The camshaft module may include a bearing arrangement in which at least one bearing portion of the shaft is mounted. The shaft may include at least one adjusting portion axially adjacent to the at least one seat portion. The adjusting portion may have a first outer diameter smaller than a second outer diameter of the seat portion. The functional element opening may have an inner diameter smaller than the second outer diameter of the seat portion and larger than the first outer diameter of the adjusting portion such that a press fit fixing is realized between the functional element and the seat portion of the shaft.
Abstract:
A roller-bearing mounted shaft may include a shaft tube having a shaft outer face with at least one rolling body running face. The shaft tube may have at least one functional element joined thermally thereto, wherein the shaft tube is formed as a welded and drawn tube and includes a carbon content of greater than 0.45 percent by mass.
Abstract:
A method for installing an adjustable camshaft may include inserting an adjustable camshaft in an installation device. The camshaft may include an outer shaft surrounding an inner shaft. The installation device may enable alignment of at least one cam rotatably mounted on the outer shaft. The method may include aligning the at least one cam by pushing an alignment pin through a radial passthrough opening in the at least one cam and through a drillhole in the inner shaft congruent therewith. The method may include non-rotatably connecting the at least one cam to the inner shaft by pushing a connecting pin into the passthrough opening and the drillhole in a direction opposite a direction the alignment pin was pushed. Non-rotatably connecting the at least one cam to the inner shaft may include detachably coupling the connecting pin and the alignment pin in a positive locking manner.
Abstract:
A device for assembling cams on a camshaft pipe of a camshaft may include a first gripper and a second gripper each configured for gripping and holding a respective cam. The first gripper and the second gripper may receive the respective cam in a common direction and may be movable in a common direction into alignment with respect to the camshaft pipe. The second gripper may be configured to grip and hold the respective cam that is pivoted by 90° with respect to an orientation of the respective cam in the first gripper.
Abstract:
A method and device for assembling a composite housing fitted with a shaft and at least one associated mounted element are disclosed. The method may include the steps of: arranging the housing in a predetermined position with respect to an actuator; arranging the shaft in a predetermined position with respect to the housing and the actuator; selecting a mounting element to be mounted on the shaft; conveying the mounting element into a predetermined position within the housing; pushing the shaft via the actuator so that the shaft passes successively through an opening of the housing and an opening of the mounting element; and positioning the mounting element in a position adjacent to a heat source for a predetermined duration after the step of selecting the mounting element and prior to conveying the mounting element.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a camshaft (1) for an internal combustion engine with a drive wheel (4) arranged on a longitudinal end side, in particular with a chain wheel or belt pulley, and with at least one first bearing (2) arranged in the region of the drive wheel (4) and a second bearing (3) arranged in the further course of the camshaft (1). Here it is substantial to the invention that at least the first bearing (2) is designed as a rolling bearing and has an inner diameter of 24 mm

Abstract:
Various exemplary illustrations of a camshaft assembly for actuating valves of an engine are disclosed. The camshaft assembly may include a camshaft having a plurality of lobes, including at least one phase adjustable lobe configured to be selectively rotated with respect to the camshaft. The assembly may further include a hydraulic valve actuator in communication with a first lobe of the camshaft. The hydraulic valve actuator may be configured to selectively actuate at least one valve in communication with the hydraulic valve actuator in response to the at least one cam lobe.
