Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0228564A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a hollow shaft, in particular a camshaft according to an internal high-pressure forming (IHF) process. According to said method, cams and/or machine elements are mounted at intervals onto the outer surface of the hollow shaft, depending on the use of the latter, by a non-positive and/or positive fit, in a position appropriate to their function. The invention also relates to a hollow shaft produced according to said method. The invention aims to improve the efficiency of the method. To achieve this: the cams and/or machine elements required for the function of the hollow shaft (1) are pushed onto and positioned on the shaft in a location and position related to their function, when the hollow shaft is placed in the forming tool; an element (5) with approximately the same external diameter as the internal diameter of the hollow shaft is placed in at least one end of said shaft; the hollow shaft together with the cams and/or machine elements that have been pushed onto the same and the inserted element are placed in an IHF tool; once the IHF tool has been closed, a medium is caused to act under the required high-pressure in the hollow shaft.
