A variable valve gear for a combustion engine includes at least one lift valve and a camshaft, which comprises a first cam and a second cam () arranged offset in a longitudinal direction of the camshaft. The variable valve gear further comprises a transmission lever, which is arranged in operative connection between at least the one lift valve and the camshaft for actuating at least the one lift valve. The transmission lever comprises a swivel axis, a mounting and a cam follower (). The mounting is supported so that it can swivel about the swivel axis. The mounting holds the cam follower (). The mounting is supported so that it is axially displaceable parallel to the swivel axis and/or parallel to the camshaft, so that the cam follower () follows either the cam contour of the first cam or the cam contour of the second cam ().

Variable valve gear

A clamping device for manufacturing an assembled camshaft for valve-controlled internal combustion engines, in which at least one cam disc with a base circle region and cam region is machined on the running surface and has a cam-disc recess, includes shrinking the cam disc onto a corresponding shaft designed with a defined dimensional overlap by cooling the shaft and heating the cam disc. Before being shrunk onto the shaft, the at least one cam disc is clamped by the clamping device such that a tension force acts on the recess wall region, the tension force corresponding to a predetermined extent to the state of stresses and/or deformation state of the recess wall region after the operation of shrinking the cam disc onto the corresponding shaft. The running-surface machining of the at least one cam disc occurs when the cam disc is clamped by the clamping device.

Device for manufacturing an assembled camshaft

An internal combustion engine having at least one outlet valve per cylinder, which can be actuated via a camshaft and a transmission device, a hydraulic valve clearance compensation element being arranged in the transmission device between the camshaft and the outlet valve, and having an engine braking device, having an engine backpressure brake for building up an exhaust gas backpressure and a compression release engine brake, by way of which at least one outlet valve can be held open at least in an engine braking phase, the compression release engine brake being formed by the hydraulic valve clearance compensation element.

A method for manufacturing an assembled camshaft for valve-controlled internal combustion engines, in which at least one cam disc with a base circle region and cam region is machined on the running surface and has a cam-disc recess, includes shrinking the cam disc onto a corresponding shaft designed with a defined dimensional overlap by cooling the shaft and heating the cam disc. Temporally before being shrunk onto the shaft, the at least one cam disc is clamped by a clamping device such that a tension force acts on the recess wall region, which defines the cam-disc recess, the tension force corresponding to a predetermined extent to the state of stresses and/or deformation state of the recess wall region after the operation of shrinking the cam disc onto the corresponding shaft. The running-surface machining of the at least one cam disc takes place when the cam disc is clamped by the clamping device.
