Retaining ring
Rotor Clip Company
TAPERED SECTION RETAINING RINGS - Axially Assembled:
* Axially installed into machined grooves in housings/bores (internal) or on shafts (external)
* Have lug holes for ease of installation/removal
* Make uniform contact when released in a groove
* Can accommodate higher thrust loadings
TAPERED SECTION RETAINING RINGS - Radially Assembled:
* Radially installed into machined grooves on shafts (external)
* Accommodate lower thrust loadings than axial retaining rings
* Do not have lug holes: Easy to install using retaining ring applicators
* Provide protruding "shoulders" for effective retention of assemblies
* Economical alternative to Axially Assembled external tapered section rings
TAPERED SECTION RETAINING RINGS - Self Locking:
* Can be installed on a shaft or in a housing/bore without a groove
* Save on machining time and costs since no groove is needed
* Can be used effectively and economically on small applications
* Accommodate low thrust loadings
* Difficult to remove once installed
