  • Axial stop ring and its application and a method and device for its manufacture
    Patent number: 4062603
    Abstract: The stop member has a shape of revolution and an L-shaped cross section. The re-entrant angle defined by the two branches of the L faces the axis of the member. A skirt portion of the member which corresponds to the branch of the L which is parallel to the axis of the member has corrugations. A flange of the member which is perpendicular to the axis of the member corresponds to the other branch of the L.The stop member can be combined with an annular groove of a shaft to axially retain the shaft. The diameter of the opening defined by the flange of the member is slightly larger than the diameter of the shaft and the minimum diameter defined by the corrugated skirt portion is less than the diameter of the shaft.A method and device for producing the stop member are also described.
