Abstract

The hardness of the outer peripheral surface of a small-diameter portion 47 and one side surface of a collar portion 52, which respectively rub against a belleville spring 39a, is set at HRc45 or higher, thereby enhancing the wear resistance of these surfaces. On the other hand, the hardness of a fastening tubular portion 51 is set at HRc3O or lower, thereby making it difficult for the fastening tubular portion 51 to be damaged or cracked when it is fastened.
