Estimating the term…
A sliding cam system is provided including: at least one sliding cam arranged in a fixed, but axially slideable manner on at least one axially fixed base shaft for forming a cam shaft of a reciprocating internal combustion engine; at least one actuator device for adjusting the sliding cam into different axial positions using at least one actuator pin that can engage in at least one sliding groove on a circumference of the sliding cam, wherein the actuator device has a housing attached to the engine and the sliding grooves are arranged in a groove section of the sliding cam; and a bracket encompassing the groove section using side shoulders, directed parallel to a longitudinal axis of the base shaft and provided with an opening in a region of the actuator pins, wherein the sliding cam has at least two sliding grooves having at least partially different depths, wherein the bracket is directed in the actuator device and wherein a positive-fit depth stop device is provided between the bracket and the actuator pin(s).
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 device for adjusting the sliding cam into different axial positions by at least one actuator pin that engages in at least one sliding groove on a periphery of the sliding cam, the actuator device has a machine-fixed housing, the sliding grooves are 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 base shaft and is provided with an opening in an area of the actuator pins, the sliding cam has at least two of the sliding grooves that have at least partially different depths, the bracket is guided in the actuator device, and a positive-fit depth stop device is provided between the bracket and the at least one actuator pin.
