1. A spur gear transmission (25), comprising
a transmission housing (12),
an output gear (14) rotatably mounted in the transmission housing (12) about a first axis of rotation (16),
a drive gear (18) that is rotatably mounted in the transmission housing (12) about a second axis of rotation (20), wherein
the first axis of rotation (16) and the second axis of rotation (20) run parallel to each other and spaced apart by a fixed center distance (A), and
an idler gear (22), which meshes with the drive gear (14) and the output gear (14) and is rotatably mounted in a carrier part (26) configured in the manner of a cassette, the cassette substantially surrounding the idler gear (22), and mounted about a third axis of rotation (24), wherein
the third axis of rotation (24) runs parallel to the first axis of rotation (16) and to the second axis of rotation (20) and
the carrier part (26) can be placed, as said cassette, in a receptacle (37) of the transmission housing (12) and secured therein, and is designed in such a way that the third axis of rotation (24) can be moved perpendicular to the first axis of rotation (16) and/or to the second axis of rotation (20) in order to compensate for differences in diameter of the output gear (14), the drive gear (18) and/or the idler gear (22).
