A method for producing a clamping ring in which pins that protrude in the region of or near a ring contour are formed on the top and bottom surfaces of a flat sheet metal material and after the ring contour is cut out, burrs that are produced during the cutting are removed by a deburring process. Advantages for the machining of the clamping ring are achieved if before a finish cutting by a complete cutting-out of the ring contour that is carried out from the one side of the flat sheet metal material, the ring contour is partially cut out from the other side in the vicinity of or near the pin protruding from this other side.

Method for producing a clamping ring

A snap ring which has a substantially radially directed ring section with a support surface and a substantially axially directed ring section with a lateral surface, the two ring sections forming an L-shaped cross-section, and a ring gap. For ease of use, at least one of the two end sections that face each other in the ring gap is turned outward in the radial direction in relation to the rest of the ring profile by bending, and, in the bent region, the axial ring section has a notch.

Snap ring

The invention relates to a damper valve arrangement, which can be combined with a servomotor of a hydraulic power steering system to form a steering damper. For calibration purposes, the damper valve arrangement has a bypass duct with a calibratable throttling resistance.
