ABSTRACT:
Improvements to tolerance rings are provided permitting them to be utilized in holding cylindrical members within sheet panels and providing positive axial retention of the ring in the sheet panel; permitting them to be used in centered and half-centered mounting arrangements without requiring the formation of shoulders on the engaged members, but rather through the use of an annular split ring shim; and permitting them to be used to restore the effective diameter of worn parts by providing the ring with a bowed shape.
