Abstract

The present invention relates to a bearing device (1) for supporting a camshaft (2) in a cylinder head with at least two bearing blocks (3) which support the camshaft (2), and which are axially penetrated by the camshaft (2) to be supported in a first through-opening (6), and with a connection element (5), at which the at least two bearing blocks (3) are fastened in an aligned position, wherein the bearing blocks (3) together with the connection element (5) and the camshaft (2) form a prefabricatable module which is mountable in an aligned position at the cylinder head.
