Brake actuator with clamp ring, clamp ring, method of assembling a brake actuator and method of manufacturing a clamp ring

A clamp ring comprising:

• axially spaced first and second annular flanges joined by a side wall, wherein the first and second annular flanges have circumferentially spaced ends;
• a first tab extending from a first end of the side wall;
• and
• a second tab extending from a second end of the side wall opposite the first end, wherein the second tab is spaced radially outwardly from and overlies the first tab when the clamp ring is in an installed position.

A method of assembling a brake actuator comprising:

• positioning a first housing component comprising a first annular flange adjacent a second housing component comprising a second annular flange such that the first and second annular flanges are aligned and overlapping;
• wrapping a clamp ring circumferentially around the first and second housing components and engaging the first and second annular flanges with the clamp ring;
• overlapping a first tab extending from a first end of the clamp ring with a second tab extending from a second end of the clamp ring, wherein the second tab is spaced radially outwardly from the first tab;
• and
• coupling the first and second tabs with a deformable member.
