The invention relates to a bearing for a toothed wheel (24) of a toothed gear in the area between a first shaft (20) and a second shaft (46) which can rotate coaxially and at different rotational speeds in relation to each other to compensate for axial forces in the direction of the axis of rotation (12) of the shaft (20, 46). The toothed wheel (24) is mounted on a plate (26) provided between a first (28) and a second (30) axial bearing. A plate (10, 14) is provided between the first shaft (20) and the first axial bearing (28) and between the second axial bearing (30) and the second shaft (46), respectively, which contacts the relevant shaft (20, 46) on a line (16, 18) and effects conical deforming movements about the lines (16, 18).
