ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for assembling first and second tubular components in a telescoping, press-fit relationship with each other. The apparatus includes a rotatable, motor driven plate including on the periphery thereof a plurality of component support means, a portion of each being spring biased in a radially outward direction. The two components are partially telescoped into each other by hand and then are loosely mounted on the support means which travel along an arcuate path that is in opposition to a fixed cam having a decreasing radius with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotatable plate. The cam surface bears against and forces one of the components into the other component as the support means move therepast. A movable cam section is also provided to accommodate tolerance variations in the components. The movable cam section is positioned proximate the exit end of the fixed cam and is normally biased in a direction that will push the inner component further into the outer component. Means are also provided for adjusting the pressure of the spring that urges the movable cam section towards the telescoped components mounted on the support members.
