The drive includes a fixed spindle or relatively fixed toothed rack which is secured to one of relatively two moving parts and gear elements mounted in a housing which includes at least two plates that can be secured to each other by plug-in connectors. The connectors are also configured as supporting joints that absorb the forces of the gear.
