1. An axle receiving arrangement for fixing to an axle, the arrangement comprising:
multiple components movable in opposite directions with respect to an axle received by the axle receiving arrangement;
wherein the multiple components are part of either a tensioning side or a compressing side of the axle receiving arrangement;
wherein for at least two of the multiple components in the case of fixing the axle receiving arrangement to the axle, one of the at least two components participates in a positive-locking and non-positive locking fixing of the axle by the axle receiving arrangement and the other of said components ensures the movability in the direction of the axle; and
wherein the multiple components enclose a gap in their combined state;
wherein the multiple components comprise: a tension bracket, a pressure bracket, a bolt, a nut, and a housing;
wherein the tension bracket, pressure bracket, bolt, and nut are inserted into the housing in a configuration in which said tension bracket, pressure bracket, bolt, and nut are combined with one another and are fixed in the housing;
wherein the pressure bracket and the bolt function as compressing-side components that can be combined with one another and that in the combined state enclose the gap; and
wherein the pressure bracket includes a pressure bracket contact surface against a surface of the axle;
the bolt has a concave bolt upper side and the pressure bracket has a convex pressure bracket underside;
the bolt with its concave bolt upper side receives the pressure bracket with its convex pressure bracket underside; and
the gap remains between the bolt upper side and the pressure bracket underside and in the combined state said gap is enclosed by the pressure bracket and the bolt.
