The reduction unit (1) furthermore provides for rolling means (14) adapted to support radial loads associated with the transmission shaft (5) for the rotational guiding thereof. The rolling means (14) comprise a first radial bearing (15) which is interposed in a radial direction between the substantially box-like body (2) and the planet carrier (11) and a second radial bearing (16) which is interposed radially between the body and the transmission shaft (5), the first and second bearings (15, 16) being arranged axially on opposite sides of the connection region (12).
