Spiral retaining ring V series

for light-duty applicationshigh-speed

Spirolox spiral retaining rings have no protruding ears to interfere with mating components (uniform cross-section) Economically produced in stainless steel because the coiling process produces no scrap Smalley is the inventor of the spiral retaining ring No-Tooling-Charges™ on custom designs Easy to assemble and remove No gap or lugs provide for a functional and aesthetically pleasing ring Can operate in an internal and external groove at the same time Spirolox rings are used in a wide variety of applications and industries Free samples to test in your application Spiral retaining rings have No Ears to Interfere® with mating components in your assembly. Spiral retaining rings are manufactured by edgewinding, otherwise known as coiling flat wire on edge. Because coiling produces a retaining ring with no scrap, the Smalley Retaining Ring can be economically produced in carbon steel, stainless steel, coppers, and many other alloys. Smalley offers over 6,000 standard retaining rings, which are readily available in both carbon and stainless steel. If you require custom designs, take advantage of Smalley's No-Tooling-Cost process; a process perfect for large runs, prototypes, and midstream design changes. The VH/VS and the VHM/VSM Series Spirolox Retaining Ring are specified for light duty, low clearance applications or where axial positioning rather than load carrying is the principal function. These retaining rings are economically produced and easy to use and are ideal for applications where thrust loads are light duty. 1/4" - 10" Diameters 6 mm – 300 mm Diameters Carbon and Stainless Steel
