Driveshaft clamping assembly

A clamping assembly, comprising:

• a split-ring device including one or more protrusions on an interior radial surface of the split-ring device for engaging a driveshaft, the split-ring device having an inner diameter sized to create one or more gaps in the split-ring device when positioned around the driveshaft;
• a first driveshaft bearing including one or more axial tabs positionable in the one or more gaps;
• and
• a second driveshaft bearing including threading for engaging corresponding threading on the first driveshaft bearing to couple the second driveshaft bearing to the first driveshaft bearing.

A method for mounting components to a driveshaft, comprising:

• positioning a first driveshaft component on the driveshaft proximate to a groove of the driveshaft, the groove being located on the driveshaft between a driveshaft shoulder and a radial protrusion on the driveshaft;
• positioning a protrusion of a split-ring device in the groove of the driveshaft,
• coupling the first driveshaft component to the split-ring device by sliding the first driveshaft component axially toward the split-ring device to slidably interlock the first driveshaft component and the split-ring device;
• and
• threadably coupling a second driveshaft component to the first driveshaft component to axially and rotationally lock the split-ring device, the first driveshaft component, and the second driveshaft component to the driveshaft.
