Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for connecting a motor to a gearbox, wherein, first, 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 to be connected thereto, or by establishing an interference fit between these two components, and wherein, additionally, an axial lock between the two components is then established by means of caulking, in that a lug formed on the first component is deformed by means of a caulking tool into a recess formed on the second component.
