Abstract:
1. A chip collector for a press fit assembly comprising, in combination, a shaft having a region of serrations of a first diameter, a circumferential channel adjacent said region of serrations, a flange of a second diameter adjacent said channel and a cylindrical portion of a third diameter adjacent said flange, and a component adapted to be secured to said shaft, said component having a first bore of a diameter smaller than said first diameter and substantially equal to said second diameter and a second bore of a diameter smaller than said third diameter, whereby said flange slidingly seals against said first bore, said circumferential channel collects debris generated when said region of serrations engages and abrades said first bore during assembly of said component on said shaft and said cylindrical portion achieves a press fit in said second bore.
