Abstract

A metallic structural part is described which is joined from at least two components (1, 2), of which one component (1) comprises a hub-like nose (3) for receiving the other annular component (2) without play, which is placed on the nose (3) so as to be stopped there and is secured against axial withdrawal by a latching ring which engages in a circular latching recess (8) of one of the two components (1, 2). In order to provide simple constructional conditions it is proposed that the latching ring engaging in the latching recess (8) of the one component (1) consists of a radially projecting ring segment (7) of the other component (2) and that the radial projecting portion (r) of the ring segment (7) corresponds at most to the magnitude of the maximum elastic deformation of the ring segment (7) in the radial direction.
