Furthermore provided is a limiter disk which by way of a sliding guide is coupled in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable manner to the shaft portion and has an external thread which is driven into an internal thread of the housing. Moreover, the rotation limitation module comprises a first detent ring having a first detent wing, and a second detent ring having a second detent wing, both detent wings for limiting a rotation of the shaft portion being able to cooperate with the limiter disk.
