ABSTRACT:
A combined retainer clip and shaft for axially fastening a mechanical element to the shaft includes a shaft being hardened to a predetermined hardness. The retainer clip is formed of an annular body with a frusto-conical annulus surrounding a generally central aperture and hardened to a hardness higher than the hardness of the shaft. The retainer clip is mounted on the shaft at a predetermined position to fixedly mount the mechanical element on the shaft. In one embodiment, a plurality of notches are circumferentially spaced about the portion of the annulus surrounding the aperture in the body to form a discontinuous shaft engaging surface.
