Internal retaining ring

constant sectionexternalfor light-duty applications

Description: Constant section retaining rings feature a uniform, constant section. This means that the material used to make the ring is the same width at any point along the circumference of the ring. These cost less than tapered and spiral retaining rings and provide only three point contact with the groove. The constant section snap ring is a linear retaining ring made of carbon spring steel with a wide rectangular section providing a protruding shoulder for the stopper. Constant section snap rings are available in inner and outer rings and are suitable for off-shaft (shaft) or bore and in-housing grooved applications. Both inner and outer rings come in a range of gap sizes and point types to suit most applications. The constant section snap ring is made of carbon spring steel with untreated or phosphated surface. Designed for applications with low thrust loads. It can be easily installed or removed by using snap ring pliers. Custom bore snap rings can be produced according to customer requirements.

Key features:

• Made of carbon spring steel with untreated or phosphated surface
• Wide rectangular cross-section providing a prominent shoulder for retention
• Available as inner (bore) and outer (shaft) rings
• Suitable for grooved applications in bores and housings or on shafts
• Available in a range of gap sizes and point types
• Designed for low thrust load applications
• Easy installation and removal with snap ring pliers

Application of constant section snap ring:

• Bearing: Internal groove installation to secure bearings within housings; heavy-duty snap rings used to retain bearings.
• Executive valve: Heavy-duty constant section snap ring installed to absorb occasional shock loads from the piston; rings can have special ends for easier installation/removal and are contoured for higher thrust.

Advantages of constant section retaining ring:

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