Abstract

A control cam or a gear wheel having a plurality of layers of flat material placed one on top of the other. Each of the layers of flat material is of a multi-part form with partition lines that extend in a direction of planes over the layers of material. At least some of the partition lines of neighboring layers of the flat material are offset in relation to one another. The partition line of a layer of flat material is arranged so that in both circumferential directions it lies approximately equally spaced in relation to a partition line of a neighboring layer of flat material.
