A nut is provided for preloading a sleeve which is wedged between a tubular member and a shaft. The nut, which is threadedly received on the tubular member, has a resilient, radially inwardly extending portion to engage the end of the wedge sleeve. When the nut is tightened on the tubular member, the inwardly extending portion of the nut is deflected to produce a stress-created force on the wedge sleeve, continuously urging the wedge sleeve toward a tightening position between the tubular member and the shaft. |
