Abstract
A method for permanently fastening a cam on a cam carrier may involve positioning the cam on the cam carrier in a predefined axial and angular position. By way of the positioning, an end face of the cam carrier is aligned with an end face of the cam. The method may also involve positioning a cam segment formed by the cam carrier and the cam in an assembly device. The cam carrier may then be deformed such that the cam is secured at least in a form-fitting or force-fitting manner against movement in an axial direction on the cam carrier. A deformation tool of the assembly device may be advanced in an axial direction onto the end face of the cam carrier, and the cam carrier may be deformed such that material of the cam carrier is forced outward in a radial direction against the cam.
