The present disclosure describes an arrangement for a motor vehicle including an internal combustion engine, a heat exchanger for cooling exhaust gas present in the internal combustion engine, and an exhaust system for discharging the exhaust gas. The heat exchanger has a channel system including at least one exhaust gas channel, through which an exhaust path leads, and at least one coolant channel, through which a coolant path of a coolant leads, fluidically separate from the exhaust gas path and arranged in a heat-transferring manner with the exhaust gas path for heat exchange during operation. A cooling gas outlet, opening into the exhaust gas path upstream of the channel system, is provided for introducing a cooling gas into the exhaust gas path upstream of the channel system.

A number of the plurality of inlet openings may correspond to a number of the plurality of passage openings. A valve plate may be connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner and may be constructed and arranged to be brought into congruence with the plurality of passage openings of the sealing washer based on a rotary angle. The sealing washer may be disposed between the plurality of inlet openings and the valve plate and may be prestressed against the cylinder head and onto the inlet openings.

An axial piston machine may include a rotor having a shaft rotatably mounted in a housing. A plurality of cylinders may be arranged annularly around the rotor. A plurality of pistons may each be disposed within each of the plurality of cylinders and may be constructed and arranged to selectively translate within each of the plurality of cylinders. Each of the plurality of cylinders may be disposed within a cylinder head and may be in operative communication with an inlet opening defined in the cylinder head and at least one outlet opening defined in the housing. An auxiliary outlet rotary slide valve may be operatively connected to the shaft in a rotationally fixed manner. The auxiliary outlet rotary slide valve may comprises an auxiliary outlet rotary opening constructed and arranged to connect to a vent duct of one of the plurality of cylinders based on an angle of rotation, and may vent the one of the plurality of cylinders. At least a portion of the auxiliary outlet rotary slide valve may comprise a material constructed and arranged to reduce a sliding friction resistance, and wherein the material comprises one of a carbon containing material or a polymer containing material.

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.

Roller bearing mounted shaft

A camshaft for an internal combustion engine may include a shaft and at least one component that is joined to said shaft. The component may be connected via a joint surface of the component to a joint surface of the shaft. At least one of the joint surface of the component and the joint surface of the shaft may have a predefined roughness only partially on load-critical regions.

Camshaft and corresponding production method

A bearing arrangement for a camshaft may include a bearing ring arranged between two functional elements. The bearing ring may be supported with respect to the functional elements via axial front sides. At least one of the axial front sides of the bearing ring and a side of the respective functional elements in sliding contact with the axial front side may have a polymer coating.

Bearing arrangement

A joined prefabricated individual cam includes multiple cams for an adjustable camshaft in particular for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The camshaft has two shafts mounted concentrically one inside the other, namely an inner shaft and an outer shaft. The joined multiple cam is fixedly pinned to the inner shaft via radial openings provided in the outer shaft with a rotatable bearing on the outer shaft. Such a multiple cam has at least one prefabricated individual cam which is placed as a cam ring on the outside circumference of a carrier pipe at an axial distance from the neighboring individual cams and is fixedly connected to this carrier pipe at a predetermined angle of rotation and axial distance assignment.

Joined multiple cam comprising individual prefabricated cams

The present invention relates to a camshaft () for an internal combustion engine with a drive wheel () arranged on a longitudinal end side, in particular with a chain wheel or belt pulley, and with at least one first bearing () arranged in the region of the drive wheel () and a second bearing () arranged in the further course of the camshaft (). Here it is substantial to the invention that at least the first bearing () is designed as a rolling bearing and has an inner diameter of 24 mm&#x3c;d&#x3c;30 mm, wherein the inner diameter dis larger than the outer diameter dof the camshaft () on the second bearing (). Because of this, the camshaft () can be configured more compact and lighter.

Camshaft for an internal combustion engine

A bearing arrangement may include at least one sliding bearing having a polymer coating. The bearing arrangement may bear a camshaft, and at least one of the polymer coating is applied to the camshaft, and the polymer coating is arranged in a bearing ring.
