A tolerance ring including a sidewall including a plurality of radially extending projections on a first radial surface and an unformed region on a second radial surface opposite the first radial surface, where the tolerance ring provides a first break-away torque, τ, defined as the breakaway torque between the tolerance ring projections and an inner component or an outer component, where the tolerance ring provides a second break-away torque, τ, defined as the breakaway torque between the unformed region and the other of the inner component or the outer component, and wherein 1.1 τ≤τ.

Tolerance ring with desired slip performance, assembly, and method of making and using the same

A tolerance ring including a sidewall and at least one projection from the sidewall that projects radially and axially to prevent axial displacement of the tolerance ring with respect to a component interior or exterior to the tolerance ring.
