AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The existing camshaft support structure on the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine is complicated to install, resulting in weakened cylinder head cover strength and increased weight.
Method used
The camshaft is fixed by using recesses instead of double flat surfaces. The recesses are arranged radially offset, and the wall thickness and height are designed differently according to the load. The through holes of the cylinder head cover are also designed to be small and mirror symmetrical to avoid excessive weakening of the cylinder head cover.
Benefits of technology
It simplifies the installation process, reduces the weight and structural space requirements of the cylinder head cover, and lowers costs.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a camshaft (12, 14) for an internal combustion engine having a recess (20) formed in the circumferential surface (18) on the outer periphery of the camshaft (12, 14) and which is itself open to the outside in the radial direction of the camshaft (12, 14). A tool can be inserted into the recess and thereby placed in a form-locking interaction with the camshaft (12, 14), thereby the camshaft (12, 14) can be fixed in a rotation-resistant manner by means of the tool. The recess (20) is arranged radially offset from the center (M) of the camshaft (12, 14).
