Abstract
A form- and/or force-fit connection between the motor and the gearbox is established by screwing together a motor- or gearbox-side first component and the respective motor- or gearbox-side second component. Alternately, an interference fit can be established between these two components by way of an axial lock that includes a lug, which formed on the first component, that is deformed by a caulking tool into a recess formed on the second component.
