1. A tolerance ring, comprising:
a generally cylindrical body having a sidewall that defines a first axial end and a second axial end, wherein the sidewall includes:
an undeformed portion; anda plurality of wave structures protruding from the undeformed portion, wherein each wave structure has a first and a second opposite axial end, and wherein the tolerance ring has at least one feature selected from the group consisting of:
(i) each opposite axial end has an end section that is disconnected from the undeformed portion; or(ii) each wave structure has a first and a second longitudinal side, each longitudinal side having a total length, LWS, and a disconnected length, LD, defined by a disconnect between the first and second longitudinal sides and the undeformed portion as measured from a terminal end of the wave structure, wherein LD is less than 0.2 LWS; or(iii) at least one axial end is disconnected from the undeformed portion and wherein a radius of curvature of the wave structure at the axial end, RWS, is less than the radius of curvature of the body, RB, such as RWS no greater than 0.9 RB. |
