Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2004109068A1] Disclosed is a camshaft, especially for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, comprising at least one cam that is provided with cam segments (2, 3) which can be displaced relative to each other. The aim of the invention is to create a compact camshaft structure while obtaining or ensuring good and stable guidance between the cam segments (2, 3) that can be displaced relative to each other. Said aim is achieved by placing the ends of the U-legs of the second cam segment (3), which has the shape of a horseshoe and is movable while the other cam segment (2) is connected in a fixed manner to the camshaft, entirely within the outer contour of the basic camshaft material located between the U-legs in the radially deployed position of the second cam segment (3), said U-legs resulting from the horseshoe shape of said cam segment (3) and extending in a free manner at the ends thereof.
