Abstract

A camshaft may include a support shaft and a component with a passage opening that receives the support shaft. The support shaft may include fastening regions and positioning regions alternating in an axial direction. A diameter of the support shaft in the fastening regions may be greater than a diameter of the support shaft in the positioning regions. Furthermore, the passage opening of the component may include axially spaced fastening sections with positioning sections arranged between pairs of the fastening sections. A diameter of the passage opening in the fastening sections may be smaller than a diameter of the passage opening in the positioning sections. Further, the diameter of the support shaft in the positioning regions may be smaller than the diameter of the passage opening in the fastening sections, and the diameter of the support shaft in the fastening regions may be smaller than the diameter of the passage opening in the positioning sections.
