A method of process control including constraining a tolerance ring (56) relative to one of an inner (54) and an outer (52) component. The tolerance ring including an annular band of resilient material having a plurality of projections (70) projecting radially therefrom. Additionally, the method includes moving the other of the inner or outer component with respect to the constrained tolerance ring so as to compress the projections of the tolerance ring between the inner and outer components, and continuing movement of the inner or outer component, respectively, beyond the projections. The method further including measuring a force required for continuing movement, and using the force for process control. |
