1. A device comprising a housing and a rotary element mounted in the housing such that the rotary element can be rotated and axially shifted;
at least one first support face on an end face of the rotary element and a second support face axially opposite the first support face on the housing;
wherein the rotary element is mounted in the housing such that, under the effect of an axial force on the rotary element, the axial shiftability of the rotary element is limited by the contact of the first support face on the second support face;
