A tolerance ring for installation within a bore, comprising: a generally cylindrical body having a first partial-cylindrical sidewall and a second partial-cylindrical sidewall opposite the first partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein each partial-cylindrical sidewall defines a first end (416, 418), and a second end (420, 422); a first gap established between the first end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the first end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the first gap extends along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring; and a second gap established between the second end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the second gap extends along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring; and a first plurality of wave structures extending from the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and a second plurality of wave structures extending from the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the first plurality of wave structures are evenly spaced along the perimeter of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall between the first end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second plurality of wave structures are evenly spaced along the perimeter of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall between the first end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall; and a first assembly spacer bridging the first gap (424, 822) and a second assembly spacer bridging the second gap (426, 826), characterized in that, the first assembly spacer and the second assembly spacer are configured to be removed during or after installation of the tolerance ring, and the tolerance ring is made from a metal, a metal alloy, or a combination thereof and first and second assembly spacers (820, 824) are constructed from a polymer material. a generally cylindrical body having a first partial-cylindrical sidewall and a second partial-cylindrical sidewall opposite the first partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein each partial-cylindrical sidewall defines a first end (416, 418), and a second end (420, 422); a first gap established between the first end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the first end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the first gap extends along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring; and a second gap established between the second end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the second gap extends along the entire length of the tolerance ring such that a split is formed in the tolerance ring; and a first plurality of wave structures extending from the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and a second plurality of wave structures extending from the second partial-cylindrical sidewall, wherein the first plurality of wave structures are evenly spaced along the perimeter of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall between the first end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the first partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second plurality of wave structures are evenly spaced along the perimeter of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall between the first end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall and the second end of the second partial-cylindrical sidewall; and a first assembly spacer bridging the first gap (424, 822) and a second assembly spacer bridging the second gap (426, 826), characterized in that, the first assembly spacer and the second assembly spacer are configured to be removed during or after installation of the tolerance ring, and the tolerance ring is made from a metal, a metal alloy, or a combination thereof and first and second assembly spacers (820, 824) are constructed from a polymer material.
