Abstract
The present disclosure provides a shift gate for a sliding cam system with at least two shifting grooves for engaging at least one actuator pin. The shifting grooves extend in a circumferential direction of the shift gate. The two shifting grooves are at least partially separated from one another in an entry region of the actuator pin. In a transition region adjacent to the entry region, they converge on each other in such a manner that they merge into each other and form a common groove. The shifting grooves each comprise at least one groove flank, in particular a lead flank and/or a runoff flank, which narrows the shifting grooves at least in the transition region, in such a manner that a groove width of the shifting grooves in the transition region is smaller than a groove width of the shifting grooves in the entry region of the actuator pin.
