Abstract
A support device (1) with a first bearing part (33) and a second bearing part (51). The first bearing part (33) is in a housing (11), while the second bearing part (51) is provided on a locking piece (53) fastened to the housing (11). Leakage along the locking piece (53) of a fluid present between the bearing parts (33, 51) is prevented by the use of a sealing element (59). The sealing element (59) is provided under pretension between the locking piece (53) and a pressure member (61, 87) fastened to the housing (11), the locking piece (53) bearing on the housing (11) under the influence of the pretension of the sealing element (59). Since the locking piece (53) bears on the housing (11) under the influence of the pretension of the sealing element (59), the locking piece (53) is fixed in an accurate position relative to the housing (11 ). An accurately defined mutual position of the first and the second bearing part (33, 51) is achieved in this manner.
