Abstract
An adjusting nut for axially positioning a rotatable member on a shaft relative to the housing includes an annular nut member with two opposed radial slots dividing the annular nut into thick and thin cantilevered portions. The thin cantilevered portion is resiliently axially displaceable relative to the thick portion. An actuating screw in a threaded through hole axially through the center of the cantilevered portion can be tightened to clamp the adjusting nut threads onto threads in the housing.
