Fresh air supply system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle

An internal combustion engine comprising a fresh air supply system including:

• a housing including an upper housing part and a lower housing part and delimiting a housing interior;
• a shaft arranged and rotatably mounted in the housing interior;
• at least one bearing part arranged in the housing interior, the shaft at least partially arranged and rotatably mounted in the at least one bearing part;
• the at least one bearing part, in a cross-section of the housing perpendicular to a rotation axis of the shaft, structured in a pot-like manner including a pot base and a pot collar protruding from the pot base;
• the pot base resting against the lower housing part such that the at least one bearing part is clampable between the upper housing part and the lower housing part;
• the pot base, in the cross-section of the housing, including a projection protruding towards the lower housing part, the projection including a recess;
• the lower housing part including a lower housing part extension protruding towards the at least one bearing part and resting against the projection such that a clamping connection is formable;
• and
• the upper housing part, in the cross-section of the housing, including at least one upper housing part extension protruding towards the lower housing part, the at least one bearing part resting against the at least one upper housing part extension such that the at least one bearing part is clampable between the upper housing part and the lower housing part;
• wherein the at least one bearing part is arranged at a distance from the lower housing part in a region of the at least one upper housing part extension.
