Sliding cam system

A sliding cam system for an internal combustion engine, the sliding cam system comprising:

• at least one camshaft, comprising a carrier shaft with at least one primary sliding cam element, a first secondary sliding cam element and at least one second secondary sliding cam element, the primary sliding cam element, the first secondary cam element, and the secondary sliding cam element each comprise a shifting gate with at least one shifting groove,
• wherein the primary sliding cam element is displaceable axially with respect to the carrier shaft by at least one actuator pin and at least one adjusting element is arranged parallel to a longitudinal axis of the carrier shaft,
• wherein the adjusting element is displaceable axially in a direction of the longitudinal axis of the carrier shaft,
• wherein the adjusting element has at least three coupling pins,
• wherein a first coupling pin of the at least three coupling pins is arranged in a region of the primary sliding cam element and a second coupling pin of the at least three coupling pins is arranged in a region of the first secondary sliding cam element and a third coupling pin of the at least three coupling pins is arranged in a region of the second secondary sliding cam element and the first coupling pin, the second coupling pin, and the third coupling pin each cooperate with a shifting gate of a respectively associated sliding cam element of the primary sliding cam element, the first secondary sliding cam element, and the second secondary sliding cam element such that a movement of the primary sliding cam element initiated by the actuator pin is transmissible to the first secondary sliding cam element and the second secondary sliding cam elopement by the adjusting element,
• wherein the sliding cam system is configured such that a shifting operation of the first secondary sliding cam element takes place at least partially at a same time as a shifting operation of the second secondary sliding cam element.
