Abstract

The invention contemplates a locking-ring configuration for use with a set-screw anchored collar, bearing ring or the like, to apply continuous load to the set-screw region (a) for enhanced set-screw clamping action upon a shaft and (b) for enhanced retention of set-screw adjustment. Various forms are described in the context of set-screw clamping of an anti-friction bearing via the inner ring thereof.
