       11 . A camshaft, comprising a gear wheel mounted on a camshaft tube in a collar attached to the gear wheel and a locating bearing element mounted on the camshaft tube, with the gear wheel and the locating bearing element delimit a locating bearing seat. 
   
   
       12 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the gear wheel having the attached collar is shrunk-fit onto the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       13 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the locating bearing element comprises a wearing disk. 
   
   
       14 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the locating bearing element comprises a cam with an integrated ring. 
   
   
       15 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 14 , wherein the gear wheel having the attached collar is shrunk-fit onto the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       16 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein a locating seat is provided to axially secure the locating bearing element and the gear wheel having the attached collar. 
   
   
       17 . The camshaft as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein a length of the camshaft corresponds to a length of the camshaft tube and the gear wheel having the attached collar is mounted at an end of the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       18 . A method for manufacturing a camshaft in which a gear wheel is mounted on a camshaft tube, comprising attaching a collar to the gear wheel and mounting a locating bearing element on the camshaft tube such that the collar and locating bearing element provide a delimitation of a locating bearing seat for the camshaft. 
   
   
       19 . The method as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein characterized the gear wheel is shrunk-fit onto the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       20 . The method as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the locating bearing element is shrunk-fit onto the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       21 . The method as claimed in  claim 20 , wherein characterized the gear wheel is shrunk-fit onto the camshaft tube. 
   
   
       22 . The method as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the collar is attached to the gear wheel before mounting on the camshaft tube.
