A camshaft assembly includes a cam carrier and a camshaft that is rotatable relative to the cam carrier in a first configuration and fixed against rotation in a second configuration. The assembly further includes a cam target wheel that includes notches, a first and second half-wheel, and a groove. The assembly additionally includes a camshaft position sensor holder that includes a camshaft sensor bore that provides access to the groove. Also, the assembly includes a camshaft position sensor received in the camshaft sensor bore in the first configuration. Moreover, the assembly includes a locking mechanism received in the camshaft sensor bore in the second configuration. The locking mechanism includes an engagement member configured to selectively engage the groove for locking the camshaft into position relative to the cam carrier.

A method for producing a camshaft module and a camshaft module are provided. The camshaft module includes a camshaft and a bearing frame having bearing devices with cut-outs. The camshaft includes a shaft and cams having cut-outs. The shaft has at least two different outside diameters. At least some of the cams and/or some of the bearing devices have cut-outs of differing diameters. The bearing frame is supported during shaft insertion to be movable along a movement axis during production of the camshaft module and to be substantially rigid along an insertion direction of the shaft. The shaft is inserted into the bearing frame in the insertion direction in such a way that interference fit is obtained in each case at least between the shaft and at least some of the cams. A predefined target distance between two elements such as a gear located outside of the bearing frame and a cam or bearing device located inside of the bearing frame adjacent to the element outside of the bearing frame may be obtained by partially inserting the shaft, determining a distance between the two elements, and applying an insertion force to the shaft based on the determined distance to advance the shaft to result in setting the distance between the two elements to the target distance.

A drive gear for a generally cylindrical imaging component. The drive gear includes a body for engaging the generally cylindrical imaging component; a cylindrical shaft attached to the body, the cylindrical shaft having an end surface; and lobes extending longitudinally outward from the end surface.

An exemplary camshaft for a high pressure common rail oil pump and a manufacturing method thereof is provided. The method achieves interference assembly between the mandrel and cam piece, and satisfies anti-rotating torque of the cam piece relative to the mandrel while ensuring the surface hardness of the cam piece. The camshaft includes a mandrel and a cam piece arranged on the mandrel. The anti-rotating torque of the cam piece relative to the mandrel is at least 500 NM after the cam piece and the mandrel are connected by interference fit by hot charge practice. Surface hardness of the cam piece 1 is at least HRC58. The method includes performing interference assembly of the cam piece and the mandrel while performing quenching heat treatment on the cam piece, then quickly cooling the cam piece equipped with the mandrel at the cooling stage during the quenching heat treatment.

The present disclosure relates to a lightweight camshaft and method for producing the same. The method includes the steps of slidably arranging a plurality of support elements onto a support tube, winding the support tube and support elements with at least one fiber layer, impregnating the at least one fiber layer with a matrix material so as to form a fiber composite, curing the fiber composite, and slidably arranging each of a plurality of functional elements, including at least a plurality of cam elements, onto a corresponding support element, such that the support elements are fixedly seated at least partially inside a passage defined through the functional elements.

Three controls, three variable gear assemblies, a hatch, and a variable torque and power generator (VT&PG), may be used independently and together to provide constant frequency and voltage output power and to increase the amount of output power generated with the same input water flow or wind speed. A three variable spur/helical gear assembly of sun and planetary gear sets is a mechanical three variable control and referred to herein as a Transgear gear assembly, simply Transgear. A hatch wraps around a waterwheel and may control the amount of water inlet to the system by opening and closing and may be controlled by Transgears and a VT&PG. Two Transgears may comprise a constant speed motor control and produce required frequency and voltage and be reduced in part count and complexity. The VT&PG of a marine hydrokinetic or wind power generator may be used as a low torque generator and a high power-rated generator in these applications and may generate more electric power than a conventional fixed power generator (the rotor axially aligned to overlap the stator in a conventional manner) over a wider input range.

A camshaft includes a carrier shaft which can be mounted rotatably along a shaft axis and at least one cam pack disposed axially displaceably on the carrier shaft. The cam pack includes at least two cams and at least one adjusting member for axial adjustment of the cam pack. The cams and the at least one adjusting member are connected to one another in an axially adjacent configuration and can be mounted axially displaceably as a composite structure in a direct configuration on the carrier shaft. A method for producing a camshaft and a cam pack are also provided.
