Abstract
A shift gate for a sliding cam system may include at least two shift grooves for engagement of at least one actuator pin. The two shift grooves run against a direction of rotation and transform from a first inlet portion for the actuator pin into a second outlet portion for the actuator pin. The two shift grooves cross one another in an intersection region between the two portions. In the intersection region, the two shift grooves each have a maximum axial shift stroke that is greater than half a total axial shift stroke, in particular a slide travel, of the shift gate.
