A structural power transmitting component embodies a shaft and a gear or
pulley held threadedly positioned on the shaft by four nuts while
interconnected by a torque transmitting wedge and key. The shaft is
especially configured to establish structural interrelationships with the
nuts, wedge, key and gear so as to facilitate assembly and disassembly of
the component as well as to maintain the wedge and key deformed under
engagement by the nuts to avoid development of internal clearances during
start-up and stoppage of torque transmission to thereby preclude
generation of noise during such operational start-up and stoppage of
transmission through the component.
