Tolerance ring with stop

Abstract

A tolerance ring is an intermediate element for a shaft/hub connection that is positioned in a groove between shaft and hub and that produces a force-fitting connection between these two elements. It has substantially the shape of a hollow cylinder, wherein the lateral surface thereof has embossments in the form of radially inwardly and/or outwardly pointing elevations. Here, provision is made at one longitudinal end of a flange-like collar, which is applied in a radial plane with respect to the central longitudinal axis. The tolerance ring is preferably manufactured in one piece with the flange-like collar from metal as a deep-drawn part, preferably being manufactured from aluminum or an aluminum alloy. An assembly method for such a tolerance ring, and a ball screw drive, and a screw drive, having such a tolerance ring are also provided.
