A clamping mechanism for frictionally securing together two radially adjacent concentric components of a gear drive wherein an annular clamping disc having concentric inner and outer peripheral edges and a substantially conically shaped convex portion between the edges is partially disposed in an annular recess in one of the gear drive components. Force applying means, such as tensioning bolts, cooperate with circumferentially spaced apertures in the convex portion of the clamping disc and threaded bores in the component to urge the peripheral edges of the clamping disc into frictional engagement with wall portions of the annular recess and with a concentric surface of the radially adjacent gear drive component. |
