1. A geared motor, comprising:
a gear unit including a housing part having an asymmetrical configuration such that a plane whose normal direction is aligned in parallel with an axis of rotation of a first intermediate shaft, arrangeable in parallel with an output shaft and mountable via bearings in the housing part, and includes an axis of rotation of an input shaft, is not a plane of symmetry in relation to an entire outer surface of the housing part, is not a plane of symmetry in relation to a housing wall of the housing part, and is a plane of symmetry with respect to two connection surfaces, set apart from each other and at which a device and/or a machine adapted to be driven by the gear unit is connectable to the gear unit, and drilling patterns of the connection surfaces;
wherein the housing part is asymmetrical such that a toothed part and/or a gear wheel connected to the output shaft of the gear unit in a torsionally fixed manner is set apart from the plane.
