AXIAL LIMIT MEANS FOR MALE AND FEMALE SPLINE TEETH IN AN ORBITAL CONNECTION

摘要

Male and female spline teeth in an orbital connection between an orbital shaft and fluid pressure operating means are limited against relative axial movement by axial limit means comprising side member means held in facing relation to a side of said fluid pressure operating means. The side member means includes a shaft opening having a reference axis. The orbital shaft extends through said shaft opening and has a rotational movement about its own shaft axis and an orbital movement about said reference axis of said shaft opening. The side member means has stop wall means extending outwardly from said shaft opening. The orbital shaft has a shoulder with face wall means abuttably engaging the stop wall means to limit relative axial movement between the male and female spline teeth.
