Abstract: A device for securing a clamping element against unintentional release includes a disk-shaped structure penetrated in an axial manner by a bore hole. A driving profile is defined by the bore hole. The disk-shaped structure is positionable on a component such that the bore hole engages a profile on the component to establish a torque-proof coupling of the disk-shaped structure and the component. The disk-shaped structure has a pair of contact surfaces. Each contact surface of the pair of contact surfaces runs radially and is positioned at a respective axial side of the disk-shaped structure. A profile plane of the driving profile is tilted at an angle with respect to a radial plane of each contact surface of the pair of contact surfaces. A related mounting arrangement is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device (14) for securing a clamping element against unintentional release, with a disk-shaped structure (15) that is penetrated in an axial manner by a bore hole (16). Thereby, the structure (15) is provided for an inner diameter with a driving profile (17) defined by the bore hole (16), which, in the placement of the structure (15), engages with the bore hole (16) on a radially inner component in a profile provided on the part of such component and thereby establishes a torque-proof coupling of the structure (15) with this component. In addition, the structure (15) is provided, in an axial manner on both sides, with contact surfaces (18, 19) that run in a radial manner. In order to provide a device that can be mounted on a radially inner component in a manner that is as free of backlash as possible and with low expenses, a profile plane (22) of the driving profile (17) is tilted at an angle (?) with respect to radial planes (20, 21) of the contact surfaces (18, 19).
