Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a pump (1) comprising



a rotor shaft (13) extending along a rotor axis (R),
a bearing body (19) circumferentially encompassing the rotor shaft (13) and comprising a radially outer bearing surface (32), and
a locking ring (25) circumferentially encompassing the rotor shaft (13) and limiting an axial movement of the bearing body (19) relative to the rotor shaft (13),

wherein the locking ring (25) comprises at least two radially inwardly protruding teeth (49, 51, 53, 55), wherein the locking ring (25) is radially expandable from a locking state to a mounting state against an elastic restoring force of the locking ring (25), wherein the locking ring (25) is, in the mounting state, positionable at a desired axial position on the rotor shaft (13), wherein the teeth (49, 51, 53, 55) are configured to press, in the locking state, against a radial outer surface (31) of the rotor shaft (13) by the elastic restoring force of the locking ring (25).
