A gear system includes a gear unit and an electromagnetically actuable brake, the brake having a coil core that is connected to a brake surface part in a torsion-resistant manner. The brake surface part is connected to a bearing flange, its bearing mount in particular delimiting a free space. The bearing flange is connected to a cover part which is connected to a housing part of the gear unit, and a shaft is supported in the housing part via at least one bearing. A driver is connected to the shaft in a torsion-resistant manner, the driver having an external tooth system that is in engagement with an internal tooth system of a brake pad carrier such that the brake pad carrier is connected to the shaft in a torsion-resistant yet axially displaceable manner. An armature disk, which is disposed in a torsion-resistant yet axially displaceable manner with respect to the coil core, is situated between the coil core and the brake pad carrier.
