Patent ID: 8186320

Claim:
A device for camshaft adjustment of an internal combustion engine comprising: a lifting profile element which is provided in a rotationally fixed manner on an axially moveably mounted camshaft, a control unit for generating a predetermined axial movement of the camshaft, wherein the control unit has a tappet unit which is moveable radially with respect to the camshaft and which is designed to controllably engage in the lifting profile element, the lifting profile element forms a first control groove which, for interaction with the tappet unit, is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a first penetration depth for describing a first axial movement of the camshaft, and the lifting profile element forms a second control groove which is designed to interact with the tappet unit at a second penetration depth which differs from the first penetration depth in order to describe a second axial movement of the camshaft which differs from the first axial movement.
