Patent number: 8318069Abstract: A method is disclosed in which a pressurized fluid presses an axial abutment surface against a first machine element in the axial direction to thereby fix the axial position of the first machine element and/or to thereby set a desired axial pre-loading of the first machine element. The fluid is then solidified to permanently maintain the axial position and/or the axial pre-loading of the first machine element. A clamp is disclosed that permanently affixes the first machine element relative to a second machine element using this method. An apparatus comprising the first machine element axially fixed relative to the second machine element by the clamp is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: July 20, 2010Date of Patent: November 27, 2012Assignee: Aktiebolaget SKFInventors: Hans-Jürgen Liesegang, Mathias Seuberling
