Method and device for securing a cylindrical component to a mechanical assembly

摘要

A cylindrical component (12) is secured in a slot (80) of a mechanical assembly (74). The slot is defined by two registration surfaces (42, 44) which meet at a vertex (48) and a third surface (46) which meets one of the registration surfaces. The securing method includes: placing the cylindrical component (12) into contact with the two registration surfaces (42, 44); applying a force F1 against the cylindrical component causing compression of the cylindrical component into the two registration surfaces; and applying an anti-rotational force against the third surface to prevent redirection of the force F1. <IMAGE>
