Abstract
A method for producing a built-up cam shaft and a built-up cam shaft having a shaft are provided. A functional component is produced in a separate manufacturing process and has an internal orifice to receive the shaft. The orifice in the functional component is substantially round to receive the shaft, and an insertion mechanism is provided on the raised areas and/or at the orifice in the functional component, which allow the functional component to be pushed onto the raised areas substantially without shavings being produced. The raised areas partially dig into the orifice and in so doing connect the functional component to the shaft in a non-positive and positive manner substantially by deformation of the material of the functional component in the region of the orifice in the functional component.
