Abstract
A method for changing the clamping conditions between a shaft bearing and a rotatable part, which is rotatably disposed in the shaft bearing, and in the case of which the axis of rotation of the rotatable part is arranged axially identically with the axis of rotation of the shaft bearing, as well as to a corresponding shaft bearing. The shaft bearing has a radial adjusting unit in which the clamping conditions of the rotatable part can be changed in the shaft bearing. This change takes place by a reversible change of the radial course of the radial adjusting unit and/or by a reversible change of the contact pressure onto the rotatable part.
