Abstract:
A system for setting a clearance between relatively movable elements, the system comprising:a first element; a second element relatively movable with respect to said first element; and a third element penetrating said second element along an axis, said third element being fixed against axial displacement with respect to said first element, and said third element having: a first axial portion extending a first dimension along said axis between first and second axial ends, said first dimension exceeding a thickness of said second element along said axis, and a second axial portion being connected to said first axial portion at said second axial end and having an enlarged radial dimension relative to said first portion, said second element being interposed between said first element and said second portion; whereby said first axial end extends into a depression in said first element, said depression having a second dimension that is less than the difference between said first dimension and said thickness by a specified amount, wherein a tolerance of said specified amount is substantially independent of a tolerance of said thickness.
