Abstract

A multi-partite assembly, for example an assembly including a housing and a cover, has a centering sleeve received in bores formed, respectively, in the housing and in the cover. The diameter of the bore made in the housing is relatively smaller than the diameter of the bore formed in the cover and the diameter of the centering sleeve. The sleeve is slidably received in the bore of the cover and press-fitted in the bore made in the housing, thereby the reliable alignment of the housing and the cover is obtained.
