Abstract
A device for adjusting the camshaft of an internal combustion engine, having a lift profile element (12) which is provided on an axially movable mounted camshaft for conjoint rotation therewith and which provides a control groove, and having a control unit for generating a predetermined axial movement of the camshaft, wherein the control unit has a tappet unit (17) which is movable radially with respect to the camshaft along a movement direction and which is designed for controllable engagement into the lift profile element, and wherein the lift profile element forms a first control groove (16) which is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a first penetration depth so as to describe a first axial movement of the camshaft, and the lift profile element forms a second control groove (18, 22) which is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a second penetration depth, which differs from the first penetration depth, so as to describe a second axial movement, which differs from the first axial movement, of the camshaft.
