Abstract
In order to simplify the adjustment of an axial play of a rotor shaft ( ) between the rotor shaft ( ) and a stator ( ) of a motor with the purpose of reducing the component expenditure and the assembly expenditure of the motor, a first clamp holder ( ) and a second clamp holder ( ) exert pressure on both sides of a plain bearing ( ). In a first step, a rotor ( ) of the motor is positioned relative to a housing ( ) of the motor. A bearing receiver ( ) is then fixed relative to the housing ( ) of the motor by inserting, at an axially inner end of the bearing receiver ( ), the second clamp holder ( ); by moving the second clamp holder ( ) to a second operating end position; and by fixing the second claim holder ( ) at the second operating end position. Next, at an axially outer end of the bearing receiver ( ), the plain bearing ( ) and the first clamp holder ( ) are axially inserted into the bearing receiver ( ). The first clamp holder ( ) is moved to and fixed at a first operating end position to adjust a pre-defined axial play of the rotor shaft ( ). The spring stiffness of the first clamp holder ( ) is higher than the spring stiffness of the second clamp holder ( ). In addition, the first clamp holder ( ) contacts one axial face side of the plain bearing ( ), whereas the second clamp holder ( ) contacts the other axial face side of the plain bearing ( ) in order to exert an elastic pressure against the plain bearing ( ) and against the first clamp holder ( ).
