A gearing includes a housing and a shaft unit. The housing includes a lower part and an upper part placed on the lower part. The lower part has at least one, e.g., semi-cylindrical, cut-out, e.g., a bearing holder, for holding the shaft unit. The upper part has at least one second, e.g., semi-cylindrical, cut-out, e.g., a bearing holder, which together with the cut-out of the lower part forms a complete and/or cylindrical bearing holder. The shaft unit has a shaft onto which first and second bearings are mounted, the outer rings of which are braced with respect to one another. The shaft unit has first shim washer(s) for adjusting the bracing, e.g., the bearing tension. The gearing has second shim washer(s) for adjusting the axial position of the shaft unit.

Gearing having a housing and a shaft unit

In a method and system for producing a gear unit that includes a housing and a shaft with bearing(s), the housing having lower upper parts, and a bearing seat: the bearing is fitted onto the shaft, the outer ring of the bearing being limited axially by a retainer attached to the shaft; the shaft, bearing, and retainer are inserted into the lower part; the upper part is fitted onto and connected to the lower part, the bearing being received by first and second sub-regions; a shim ring is placed against the outer ring; screws are screwed into axially oriented threaded holes of the housing such that the shim ring is limited by the screw heads of the screws; and the retainer is removed and a bearing cover is connected to the housing and axially limits the shim ring.
