A reduction gear may have a housing, a first gear stage and a second gear stage. The second gear stage may have an externally toothed first gear wheel and an internally toothed second gear wheel which meshes with the first gear wheel and is at least indirectly rotationally fixed to an output. The reduction gear may also have a circumferential eccentric, which is driven by the first gear stage, for driving a rolling motion from the second gear wheel to the first gear wheel. A torque support disc is guided in a linearly movable manner in a first direction along two sliding surfaces of the bearing point. A rib bears against the torque support disc and elastically pretensions the torque support disc in the direction of a further sliding surface of the bearing point. A gear motor having an electric motor may use the reduction gear.

Reduction gear and gear motor

A bearing unit including an outer guide sleeve having an opening, as well as an inner receiving sleeve that is rotatably arranged inside the outer guide sleeve opening and that includes a recess. A rotational axis of the inner receiving sleeve in the outer guide sleeve and a central axis of the recess in the inner receiving sleeve are arranged at a distance from each another about an eccentricity. The bearing unit allows the position in which securing elements are mounted to be adapted in a simple and reproducible manner, and which is formed from just a few components so as to permit simple and cost-effective assembly. A device is provided between the outer guide sleeve and the inner receiving sleeve for the purpose of force and/or form-fittingly securing an adjusted receiving sleeve position relative to the guide sleeve.
