METHOD FOR PRODUCING A CAMSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT PRODUCED ACCORDING TO SAID METHOD

摘要

The aim of the invention is to produce cam shafts. To this end, the plasticising method known per se is combined with the internal high pressure deformation method in such a way that bearing elements, drive elements and control elements are produced at the ends by plasticising. Prefabricated supporting rings and chain wheels or gear wheels are mounted in a positive or non-positive fit by internal high pressure deformation. The inventive method can be mainly used for camshafts but also for producing shafts with cam plates etc.
