The static torque to turn a camshaft is negligible. The acceleration forces are also relatively low, so the tangential forces are also LOW, hence the loading,
i.e. bending stress on the IMS shaft would be pittance relative to the section modulus of the shaft or the stub. Most components in engine design are designed around deflection NOT STRESS.
