Abstract: A tolerance ring for a hard disc drive assembly is disclosed and can include a plurality of discrete tolerance ring panels. Each tolerance ring panel can include an arcuate sidewall that can include an unformed portion and at least one projection extending from the arcuate sidewall. The projection can be surrounded by the unformed portion of the arcuate sidewall and the tolerance ring can be configured to be deployed in an interference fit between an inner component and an outer component to provide torque coupling between an inner component and an outer component.
