Abstract: A tolerance ring for a hard disc drive assembly is disclosed and can include a plurality of discrete tolerance ring panels. Each tolerance ring panel can include an arcuate sidewall that can include an unformed portion and at least one projection extending from the arcuate sidewall. The projection can be surrounded by the unformed portion of the arcuate sidewall and the tolerance ring can be configured to be deployed in an interference fit between an inner component and an outer component to provide torque coupling between an inner component and an outer component.

Abstract: A tolerance ring (316) can be disposed between an inner component (306) and an outer component (302), the inner and outer components defining stepped sidewalls. In an embodiment, a preassembly can include an outer component defining a bore (304) having a stepped inner sidewall (310), an inner component (306) having a stepped outer sidewall (312), and a tolerance ring (316) adapted to be disposed between the inner component and the bore. In an embodiment, an assembly can include an outer component defining a bore having a stepped inner sidewall, an inner component having a stepped outer sidewall, and a tolerance ring disposed between the inner component and the bore. In an embodiment, a hard disk drive preassembly (300) can include an actuator arm defining a bore having a stepped inner sidewall, a pivot having a stepped outer sidewall, and a tolerance ring adapted to be disposed between the pivot and the bore.
