Abstract
A method of manufacturing a device for connecting a torque-transmitting shaft journal, which is provided with a channel toothing and has a annular groove adjacent to a free end surface of the shaft journal with a structural component, the connecting device including a sleeve for receiving the shaft journal connectable with the structural component and having an inner channel toothing corresponding to the channel toothing of the shaft journal, and a spring-biased bushing for receiving the sleeve and axially displaceable relative hereto, the method including effecting, after pushing the sleeve receiving bushing over the sleeve, a reduction of the bushing at least along a portion of its longitudinal extent thereof or an expansion of an end region of the sleeve to provide a form-locking connection between the sleeve and the bushing which defines a stop limiting a displacement path of the bushing relative to the sleeve, and a device manufactured by the above-described method.
