Abstract
The wear compensation device for a gear set comprises a support for attaching the device to an external element, a bearing intended to be mounted on a shaft comprising one of the wheels of the gear set, an eccentric mounted on the bearing and able to move angularly with respect to the support, an actuator mounted axially between the support and the eccentric and able to apply a circumferential force to the said eccentric, and at least one maintaining means for temporarily maintaining the angular indexing of the eccentric relative to the support in an angular position in which the actuator is preloaded between the said eccentric and the said support.
