ABSTRACT A rotor unit having a rotor cylinder, which is attached to a shaft and rotates in an external bearing. Inside is a setting motor which drives a first combination gear in two directions of rotation via its setting shaft and a pinion. The combination gear is mounted on a disk and a bearing disk in a free-wheeling bearing and engages with a second combination gear. In one direction of rotation, the free-wheeling bearing locks the combination gear, so that the gear is carried along by the pinion in a fixed position together with the disk. In this way the second combination gear engages serially with one intermediate gear at a time, with each engagement being exactly positioned by means of a ball groove. In the other direction of rotation, the motor turns the respective numeral wheel via the aforementioned gears, thereby setting, for example, one numeral of the postage-meter machine's postage value stamp. As a result of the motor alternately rotating in the two directions, all numerals of the value stamp, the date stamp and other stamps can be automatically set. The motor receives its commands via rubbing contacts from a control unit located outside the rotor cylinder.
