ABSTRACT:
A shaft has rolling member bearings, a compression spring acting to urge the bearings toward the shallow groove in one end of the shaft and a ring fitting round said end, with a portion extending into the groove so that the spring force acts on the ring to assist in retaining the ring in the groove. In order to assist the retention of the ring in the groove, the ring may be provided with a chamfered surface on the outside of the ring at its end which is fitted to the groove. The groove may be axially longer than the ring portion extending into the groove so that the ring can move relative to the shaft. This is advantageous when, for example, tightening a steering wheel onto the shaft against the ring.
