Constant section retaining ring

externalinternal

Description:
Constant section retaining rings feature a uniform, constant section. The material used to make the ring has the same width at any point along the circumference of the ring. This design typically costs less than tapered and spiral retaining rings and provides three-point contact with the groove.

Manufacturer / Brand:
Lisheng Spring is a China constant section retaining ring company with many years of production experience and a focus on product quality.

Advantages of constant section retaining rings:

• No assembly/disassembly lugs = space-saving in radial direction
• Edges with radius, no stamping burrs
• Square-edge wire for sharp-edged installations
• No special tooling required for exotic materials
• No special tooling for installation and removal is necessary
• Conform to DIN 471/472
• Higher ring shear
• Special ends available for specific applications
• Heavy-duty sections available for higher rotational capacities

Applications and functional description:
Constant section rings (snap rings) are often specified for heavy-duty or shock-loaded applications. With edge winding and no custom tooling fees, snap rings are commonly used in automotive and heavy equipment industries. A constant section retaining ring is an industrial fastener used to hold mating components or assemblies together. It is a circular metal part that fits in a groove (either in a housing or on a shaft). Inner (housing) circlips are installed in a housing groove; outer (shaft) circlips are installed in a shaft groove.

Inner vs Outer ring characteristics:

• Retaining rings for shafts are installed on shaft grooves for positioning and fixing shaft end parts; they can withstand severe vibration and impact loads but require anti-loosening measures and installation positioning.
• Retaining rings for holes (installed in a circular hole) are used to limit axial movement of parts; the outer diameter of this ring is slightly larger than the diameter of the assembly circular hole.

Functionality:
Constant section retaining rings can function as support, buffer, brake, height adjustment, and angle adjustment. The retaining ring provides axial fixation with high centering between the ring and mating surface.
