Sliding cam system having two-stage actuator stroke

A sliding cam system comprising:

• at least one sliding cam that is arranged rotationally locked but movable in an axial direction on at least one axially fixed base shaft for forming a camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine,
• at least one actuator supporting at least one actuator pin, the at least one actuator adjusts the sliding cam into different axial positions by the at least one actuator pin engaging in at least one sliding groove on a periphery of the sliding cam, the at least one actuator has a machine-fixed housing,
• the at least one sliding groove is arranged in a groove section of the sliding cam,
• a bracket surrounds the groove section by side shoulders thereof and is guided parallel to a longitudinal axis of the at least one axially fixed base shaft, and the bracket is provided with an opening adapted to receive the at least one actuator pin,
• wherein the at least one sliding groove includes two sliding grooves in the sliding cam that have at least partially different depths,
• the bracket is guided in the at least one actuator, and the bracket forms a positive-fit depth stop for the at least one actuator pin.
