Claim:
1. A method for producing a camshaft module, the camshaft module including at least one camshaft having a shaft and a plurality of cams each having a cam cut-out, and a bearing frame configured to hold the at least one camshaft rotatably in a plurality of bearing devices, the plurality of bearing devices each having a bearing cut-out, the method comprising the steps of: securing the bearing frame such that the bearing frame is supported substantially rigidly against motion in a direction parallel to a shaft insertion direction and is resiliently supported movably in a direction perpendicular to the shaft insertion direction; arranging a number of the plurality of cams corresponding to each shaft of the at least one camshaft in the bearing frame with each cam cut-out of said number of the plurality of cams co-axially aligned with the bearing cut-outs of a portion of the plurality of bearing devices corresponding to the shaft of the at least one camshaft; and inserting the shaft of the at least one camshaft into the bearing frame in the shaft insertion direction at least through the cam cut-outs of said number of the plurality of cams and the bearing device cut-outs of said portion of the plurality of bearing devices such that the shaft is supported in the bearing frame and an interference fit is obtained between the shaft and at least one cam of said number of the plurality of cams.
