Abstract

A camshaft controller (10), in particular for use in an induction manifold system for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine, including an induction distributor (11) with individual induction pipes (16 to 19) which are disposed adjacent one another and terminate in a flange. The camshaft controller (10) is disposed in a longitudinal bore in the individual induction pipes (16 to 19) and serves to open and close the induction pipes. Associated with each individual induction pipe is a sealing element (43 to 50) which is secured to the camshaft controller (10).
