A camshaft for controlling the valves in internal combustion engines, including a shaft 1 and at least one forged cam slid- or pushed-upon the shaft and solidly connected with it, with the cam having an opening for receiving the shaft. The shaft having a segment with an increased diameter at the location of the cam compared to the other regions or segments of the shaft, this region is manufactured rollers or rolls, wherein circumferential beads or webs are generated by material displacement in the circumferential direction of the shaft, the opening in the cam for receiving the shaft is widened in a funnel-shaped manner at least on one side and at least over a portion of its axial length, and the dimension of the mouth aperture of the funnel-shaped widening corresponds approximately to the radial height of the beads or webs.

Camshaft for controlling valves in internal combustion engines

A cam member is formed with an axial bore slightly larger than the outer diameter of a cam shaft so as to enable easy insertion of the cam shaft therein when forming an assembly. A recess is provided between the axial bore and the cam shaft and a joinder piece is inserted in the recess with solder being retained in the joinder piece so that upon heating of the solder with the joinder piece located within the recess means, the cam member and the shaft member may be affixed together.
