A tolerance ring (10) for providing an interference fit between inner and outer components (36, 50) is disclosed. The tolerance ring (10) comprises a deformable band having a plurality of radially extending projections around its circumference, wherein the projections include a set of axially spaced protuberances (12, 13) separated by a unformed region (11) circumferentially adjacent to an axially elongate protuberance (15), the axial extent of which spans the axial extent of the set of axially spaced protuberances. This arrangement of protuberances facilitates the transfer of retention force to a component that is composed of a plurality of independent parts, e.g. two or more bearings (54, 56) separated by a spacer (58).
A tolerance ring for providing an interference fit between an inner component and an outer component, the tolerance ring comprising a deformable band having a plurality of radially extending projections around its circumference, wherein the projections include a set of axially spaced protuberances circumferentially adjacent to an axially elongate protuberance, the axial extent of which spans the axial extent of the set of axially spaced protuberances.
Apparatus comprising an inner component, an outer component which mates with the inner component, and a tolerance ring located between the inner and outer components, the tolerance ring comprising a band having a plurality of radially extending projections around its circumference which are compressible between the inner and outer components, wherein the projections include a set of axially spaced protuberances circumferentially adjacent to an axially elongate protuberance, the axial extent of which spans the axial extent of the set of axially spaced protuberances.
A pre-assembly arrangement for an apparatus comprising an inner component, an outer component which mates with the inner component, and a tolerance ring located between the inner and outer components, the pre-assembly comprising a tolerance ring securely mounted either on a shaft or within a bore, wherein the tolerance ring comprises a deformable band having a plurality of radially extending projections around its circumference, wherein the projections include a set of axially spaced protuberances circumferentially adjacent to an axially elongate protuberance, the axial extent of which spans the axial extent of the set of axially spaced protuberances.
A method of assembling an apparatus comprising an inner component, an outer component which mates with the inner component, and a tolerance ring located between the inner and outer components, the method including:
