Sliding cam system

A variable valve train for an internal combustion engine, comprising:

• a sliding cam system including,
• a cam shaft;
• a cam carrier, which is arranged rotationally fixedly and axially movably on the cam shaft, wherein the cam carrier comprises a first shifting gate and a second shifting gate, wherein an axial displacement of the cam carrier is dampened hydraulically or by an elastic element;
• a first actuator with an element able to move along a longitudinal axis of the cam shaft, which can be brought into contact with the first shifting gate for the axial movement of the cam carrier in a first direction;
• a second actuator with a second element able to move along the longitudinal axis of the cam shaft, which can be brought into contact with the second shifting gate for the axial movement of the cam carrier in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction;
• at least one gas exchange valve;
• and
• a force transmission device, which in dependence on an axial position of the cam carrier optionally places a first cam of the cam carrier in an operative connection with the at least one gas exchange valve or places a second cam of the cam carrier in an operative connection with the at least one gas exchange valve.
