A locking ring for joining a first and second of a rotor in a centrifugal separator, the first rotor part having a cylindrical end portion, and the second part having an annular flange. A locking ring is arranged to be positioned into a recess and via two radially outer contact surfaces to abut against the end portion and via inner contact surfaces to abut against the flange. The locking ring extends substantially a complete revolution around the rotational axis with two end surfaces turned towards one another and being so formed out of a single piece of resilient material that in an unloaded condition is substantially annular with an outer diameter, is at least as large as the outer radius of the recess, the contact surfaces being are so located that they in every axial section around the rotational axis have a middle point, in which the contact surface have a direction of normalcy, which is the for all contact surfaces. In the direction towards the separation chamber in the interior of the rotor the locking ring forms an acute angle with the rotational axis.
