ABSTRACT:
An axial cam structure is formed with outer and inner concentric shaft portions which are rotationally and axially movable relative to one another and which have formed at their interface sets of radially adjacent V-shaped camming cavities pointed in opposite axial directions with a camming ball disposed in each of the sets of cavities. The camming ball bears on the side walls of the cavity in the outer and, at its opposite side, the side walls of the respective cavity of the inner shaft portion so that any torque transmitted between the inner and outer shaft portions through the camming ball provides for corresponding oppositely directed axial forces on the inner and outer shaft portions.
