Abstract
A device for fastening and fixing components to a cylindrical wall. The cylindrical wall may be both the convex-cylindrical outer contour of a cylinder and the concave-cylindrical inner contour of a hollow cylinder, in which the component is fixed in the radial, axial and circumferential directions. The fastening and fixing is effected by shaped elements which are attached to the component and by a counterpart to each shaped element on the wall. In each case a shaped element and a counterpart interlock, such that the component has at least three shaped elements, of which at least one shaped element has a defined accuracy of fit with its associated counterpart in the radial direction and has clearance in the axial and circumferential directions. At least one shaped element has a defined accuracy of fit with its associated counterpart in the axial direction and has clearance in the radial and circumferential directions. Furthermore, at least one shaped element has a defined accuracy of fit with its associated counterpart in the circumferential direction and has clearance in the radial and axial directions.
