ARRANGEMENT FOR SECURING MACHINE PARTS ESPECIALLY ROLLING BEARINGS WHICH ARE APPLIED FREE FROM PLAY OR INITIALLY STRESSED

摘要

A fastening means for securing an annular first machine element against axial displacement on an annular second machine element, said second machine element having a shoulder against which the first machine element abuts and an annular groove spaced from said shoulder comprising a first ring member circumscribing the second machine element and having one axial end face confronting and abutting an axial end face of said first machine element and being formed to define an annular pocket, a second one-piece ring made of a deformable material which is initially sleeve-shape and is adapted to engage in the annular pocket and be deformed in a radial direction as a result of axially applied pressure during assembly into the annular pocket in such a way that a portion thereof engages in the annular groove in the second machine element to secure the two in place.
