<p>A clamp yoke (10) formed from a flat piece of metal. The flat piece (5) being approximately T-shaped which is bent into the clamp yoke. The top portion of the T forming the yoke ears (24) and the vertical portion forming two approximately parallel shaft portions (12, 14). The yoke ears each having a bearing bore (26) therein and the shaft portions each having a shaft receiving bore (20) therein. The clamp yoke can be provided with a bolt (30) having a reduced diameter middle which allows a shaft to be inserted into the shaft receiving bores without removing the bolt. The bolt is then tightened, drawing the larger diameter portion into the center of the clamp yoke where the bolt engages a transversely relieved portion on the shaft to axially retain the shaft.</p> |
