Overview
In this presentation, attendees will learn how tolerance rings can improve existing and prototype product designs. Practical guidelines will be given regarding tolerance ring application, design, and installation. Key points of discussion will include: ring functions (fastening/joining/centering, bearing mounts, torque transfer); wave deflection (elastic vs plastic, radial load vs torque); plus ring anatomy and mounting arrangements (free, centered and half-centered). In addition, attendees will gain a better understanding of spring theory, ring style (AN, BN), and standard vs non-standard configurations.
