A method for manufacturing a position indicator sensor wheel for a camshaft, wherein the position indicator comprises an axially extending passage for connecting to the camshaft and at least one radially projecting tooth, the method comprising:
- providing a sheet from a sheet material,
- introducing the passage into the sheet, and
- roughening a radial inner surface of the passage in at least one rough portion.
A method for manufacturing a camshaft for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- providing a shaft,
- providing a position indicator, the position indicator including an axially extending passage for connecting to the shaft and at least one radially projecting tooth, wherein providing the position indicator includes:
- providing a sheet from a sheet material,
- introducing the passage into the sheet, and
- roughening a radial inner surface of the passage in at least one rough portion,
- joining the position indicator with the shaft via the passage, so that the position indicator is connected to the shaft so as to be axially fixed and non-rotatable.
A camshaft for an internal combustion engine, comprising:
- a shaft,
- a position indicator, the position indicator including an axially extending passage and at least one radially projecting tooth, the passage having a radial inner surface provided with at least one roughened portion,
- wherein the position indicator is joined with the shaft via the passage so as to be axially fixed and non-rotatable.
