Bearing seat arrangement

A bearing seat arrangement for an automotive auxiliary device, the bearing seat arrangement comprising:

• a static support structure;
• a separate bearing seat element which is press-fitted into the static support structure so as to provide a press-fitted connection;
• and
• an adhesive bond which is configured to axially fix the separate bearing seat element,
• wherein,
• the separate bearing seat element is defined by a steel sleeve,
• the steel sleeve comprises an axial end surface and a radial outside surface which comprises an axial end section, the radial outside surface defining a maximum radial extent of the steel sleeve so that no portion of the steel sleeve extends radially outward beyond the radial outside surface, and the axial end surface defining an absolute terminal extent of the steel sleeve so that no portion of the steel sleeve extends axially beyond the axial end surface,
• the adhesive bond contacts the radial outside surface of the steel sleeve along a complete circumference at the axial end section, and
• the adhesive bond extends radially inwards the with respect to the radial outside surface to additionally contact the axial end surface of the steel sleeve.
