Abstract
The instant invention relates to a cam shaft (1) for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, which is supported on a cylinder head housing (15) via at least one roller bearing (2), wherein provision is made for at least one thrust bearing (3), which supports the cam shaft (1) in axial direction (4) and which is embodied as ball or also as roller bearing (2).
Description
- The invention relates to a cam shaft for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles, which is supported on a cylinder head housing via at least one roller bearing.
- Typically, cam shafts are supported in cam shaft bearings, which are normally manufactured as bushings made from materials, such as aluminum alloys, for example, or as half bearings made of materials on the basis of copper alloys. However, other types of bearings, such as a roller bearing, for example, are also known from the state of the art. A thrust bearing function for the cam shaft is normally taken over via a so-called washer disk, which is also known as “trust plate”. However, as compared to other bearing devices, such washer disks have a considerably shorter life expectancy so that they must typically be replaced on a rotational basis.
- The invention deals with the problem of specifying an improved embodiment for a cam shaft, where in particular a thrust bearing is improved.
- This problem is solved according to the invention by means of the object of
independent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the object of the dependent claims. - The invention is based on the general idea of embodying a thrust bearing for a cam shaft for internal combustion engines of motor vehicles as ball bearings or as roller bearings and to thus on the one hand considerably extend the life expectancy of the thrust bearing and to thus on the other hand improve the thrust bearing as a whole. At the same time, the cam shaft supported in axial direction in such a manner can be supported on a cylinder head via further bearing devices, which are embodied as roller bearings, whereby the entire bearing of the cam shaft can be improved as compared to bearings known from the state of the art.
- In an advantageous development of the solution according to the invention, at least one thrust bearing, which is embodied as a roller bearing, encompasses a roller, which runs directly on the cam shaft, wherein a region of the cam shaft, which comes into contact with the roller, is hardened. Through this, a particularly effective bearing of the cam shaft can be attained, wherein a hardening of the region, which comes into contact with the roller, can be hardened via an inductive and thus highly pinpointed heating, for example, as well as via a subsequent rapid cooling. The hardening thereby increases the wear resistance of the cam shaft, whereby the life expectancy thereof can be extended.
- As an alternative thereto, provision can be made in a further embodiment in the region of the thrust bearing, which is embodied as roller bearing, for a bushing, which is arranged directly on the cam shaft and on which the roller of the roller bearing rolls. Such a bushing can also be hardened, for example, and can thus encompass a considerably improved wear resistance as compared to an unhardened material. At the same time, such a bushing can be chosen in such a manner with reference to its material characteristics that particularly good bearing characteristics can be attained.
- Advantageously, the cams and/or the roller bearing and/or the at least one thrust bearing are connected to the cam shaft by means of a thermal joining process, by means of an interference fit assembly or by means of adhesion, wherein only finished cams and/or roller bearings and/or thrust bearings are used for joining with the cam shaft. Due to the finished components, a machine finishing of the cams and of the cam shaft, respectively, is not necessary after connecting the afore-mentioned components to the cam shaft, whereby it can be prevented that swarf, for example, penetrates into the roller bearings and negatively impacts them during the future operation.
- Advantageously, the at least one thrust bearing, which is embodied as a ball or roller bearing, is arranged between two cams of the cam shaft and is directly supported thereon. The thrust bearing is thus fixed between the two cams with reference to its axial direction, without requiring further fixing elements for this purpose, the production of which is extensive, for example. It is also possible for the at least one thrust bearing, which is embodied as a ball or roller bearing, to be indirectly supported on the two cams via two spacer elements, in particular via two spacer bushings. Such spacer bushings provide the large advantage that the thrust bearing must not necessarily be arranged in the region directly next to the cams, but that, depending on the axial length of the chosen bushing, it can be arranged in a location, which is advantageous for the installation of the thrust bearing. In the alternative, these spacer bushings can also be fixedly connected to the adjacent cams, which entails a shortened assembly time for the cam shaft.
