Abstract
An arrangement for axially supporting two jointly rotating components (2, 3) by way of a snap ring (6) having two displaceable impacting ends (6a, 6b), which are separated from each other by a peripheral gap (7), and which can move in the region of a radial spring path. The snap ring (6) is inserted into an annular groove of the supporting component (2). The supporting component (3) comprises one ramp (8, 9) in the region of the radial spring path of the impacting ends (6a, 6b) of the snap ring (6).
