A direct drive without bearings for coupling to a shaft has a housing having a first end face composed of a connection flange with a central recess and a second end face composed of a removable cover diametrically opposed to the connecting flange, a rotor and a stator located coaxially with each other inside the housing, with the stator being fixedly connected with the housing, and locking elements via which the rotor is fixed inside the housing in position in a radial direction, and/or axial direction.
