<p>A means for attaching the bearing housing (22) to an outer shell (12) is disclosed. The outer shell (12) is plastically deformed into a plurality of apertures (42) formed into the bearing housing (22). The deformation (92) of the shell (12) is such that material is displaced into the apertures (42) of the bearing housing member (22) without penetrating through the wall of the shell (12) thus maintaining the integrity of the shell (12). The shape of the displace material of the shell (12) is such that a generally cylindrical load bearing surface having a sharp corner is created which is capable of withstanding both axially and circumferentially directed forces of substantial magnitude.</p> |
