• the manufacturing 310 may include marking 31 1 of the manufactured modules 100, each with an individual marking, for example a QR code.
• the production 310 is followed in the illustrated example by a bearing 320 of the modules 100, in particular for a storage period of more than 24 hours.
• the bearing 320 may be followed, for example, by a testing 330 of the modules 100, for example by laser scanning.
• the result of the check 330 can be assigned and documented, for example, based on the marking to a specific module 100.
• FIG. 7 shows a schematic view of a drive system 200 according to the invention with four modules 100 arranged behind one another along its longitudinal axis LA, of which only the cages 150a, 150b, 150c are shown for the sake of clarity.
• a first cage 150a has a flat back 102, for example, for placement on an inner wall of a housing (not shown) of the drive system.
• the first cage 150a On its rear side opposite the front side, the first cage 150a has a number of latching elements 110, which engage in receiving elements 120 on the rear side of a second cage 150b, thereby preventing in particular a rotation of the second cage 150b with respect to the first cage 150a.
• the second cage 150b and a subsequent third cage 150b are identical to each other.
• the second cage 150b, the third cage 150b and the fourth cage 150c are interconnected by latching members 110 at the front of the second cage 150b and third cage 150b and receiving members 120 at the rear of the third cage 150b and fourth cage 150c.
• the locking elements 1 for example, engage in the receiving elements 120 so that the cages 150b, 150c along the longitudinal axis LA with a mechanical clearance are positively connected to each other. Due to the mechanical play the locking elements 1 10 during assembly of the drive system 200 in the easy
