Abstract: An assembly including an outer member; an inner member; and a tolerance ring disposed between the inner member and the outer member, wherein the tolerance ring is a split ring comprising opposing edges, where the edges engaged with at one of the inner member or the outer member so as to prevent or restrict movement between the tolerance ring and at least one of the inner member or the outer member, or where the tolerance ring is deformed as installed between the inner member and the outer member and forms at least one buckled region in the tolerance ring due to an interference fit between the inner member and the outer member, where in an uninstalled state, the buckled region is absent.

Abstract: A tolerance ring including a sidewall having a first and a second opposite major surfaces spaced apart by a thickness, wherein the first major surface defines an inner diameter of the tolerance ring at a first location of the sidewall and an outer diameter of the tolerance ring at a second location of the sidewall. A method of forming a tolerance ring including providing a strip of material comprising a first, a second, a third, and a fourth edge, shaping the first edge of the strip toward the third edge, and shaping the second edge of the strip toward the fourth edge.

Abstract: A tolerance ring has a band with outwardly extending corrugated protrusions forming waves that engage an outer surface of a shaft. At one end of the tolerance ring is an inwardly flared guide surface extending axially and radially from the band. The guide surface acts as a tapered entrance to a bore of a housing to assist during assembly.
