Abstract
A method may include thermally joining at least one of a non-round functional component to a shaft and a cam to a camshaft, elastically compressing the functional component during introduction of a round through-opening, and creating a through-opening which is not round when the functional component is unstressed and at least minimizes an asymmetrical deformation of the shaft after the thermal joining of the functional component to the shaft.
Claims21
A method, comprising:
- thermally joining at least one of a non-round functional components to a shaft and a cam to a camshaft, elastically compressing the functional component during introduction of a round through-opening, and creating a through-opening which is not round when the functional component is unstressed and at least minimises an asymmetrical deformation of the shaft after the thermal joining of the functional component to the shaft.
A non-round functional component, comprising:
- a non-round through-opening, which at least minimises an asymmetrical deformation of the shaft after the thermal joining of the functional component to the shaft.
(canceled)
A method, comprising:
- thermally joining a non-round functional component to a shaft;
- elastically compressing the at least one non-round functional component during introduction of a round through-opening;
- creating a non-round through-opening which is not round when the functional component is unstressed and at least minimizes an asymmetrical deformation of the shaft after the thermal joining of the functional component to the shaft.
