Abstract
A method adjusts axial play of a journal mounted in a bearing. A bearing axis defines a z-direction. A positive z-direction points from first to second bearing ends. The journal inserted into the bearing in the positive z-direction is moved to a first form-locking engagement in the positive z-direction between journal and bearing. A spacer at the second end defines axial play. A bushing is placed onto a journal segment protruding from the bearing at the second end in the positive z-direction. A form-locking and/or force-locking connection is established between bushing and journal by deforming the bushing and locating the spacer along the z-direction between bushing and second end. The spacer contacts the bushing and second end. The spacer is removed. A device having a bearing and a journal mounted and relatively movable therein within axial play is also provided.
