Abstract

A sliding cam system for an internal combustion engine. The sliding cam system includes a cam shaft and a cam carrier, arranged rotationally fixedly and axially movably on the cam shaft. The cam carrier including a first shifting gate and a second shifting gate. The sliding cam system includes a first actuator with an element able to move along a longitudinal axis of the cam shaft, especially a pin, which can be brought into contact with the first shifting gate for the axial movement of the cam carrier in a first direction. The sliding cam system includes a second actuator with an element able to move along the longitudinal axis of the cam shaft, especially a pin, which can be brought into contact with the second shifting gate for the axial movement of the cam carrier in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction.
