CAST SHAFT, IN PARTICULAR CAMSHAFT

摘要

An elongated generally cylindrical iron shaft is cast as a single piece. The shaft has a longitudinal axis and has a centrally disposed longitudinal hollow channel extending completely therethrough along the axis. The shaft has a plurality of transverse channels extending outwardly from the longitudinal channel completely through the shaft to the outside thereof and communicating with the longitudinal channel. Each transverse channel has the shape of a nozzle. The outside openings of the transverse channels are spaced apart and are disposed along a helical path on the outer surface of the shaft. The helix has an axis coincident with the longitudinal axis.
