Spiral retaining ring

Product overview
Constant section retaining rings feature a uniform, constant section. The material used to make the ring is the same width at any point along the circumference. Compared with tapered and spiral retaining rings they are lower cost and provide only three-point contact with the groove.

Main points when choosing a retaining ring

• Movement direction: determine whether the application involves reciprocating, rotating, spiral or fixed motion.
• Sealing requirements: identify whether the active sealing point is at the inner diameter (rod) or outer diameter (piston).
• Temperature grade: evaluate the operating temperature of the application and select materials accordingly; consult the product precautions for temperature limits.
• Pressure level: confirm working pressure from machine documentation or infer from hardness and structure of existing retaining rings; consult the product precautions for pressure guidance.
• Size: measure the groove dimensions directly rather than relying solely on old samples, since temperature, pressure and wear can alter original dimensions.

Advantages of constant section retaining rings

• No assembly/disassembly lugs, saving radial space.
• 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 capacity.
• Special ends available for specific applications.
• Heavy duty sections for higher rotational capacities.

What is a wire forming snap ring?
A wire forming snap ring is a type of snap ring made from metal wire, formed into shapes to secure components in place. It can be opened and closed with a tool and is typically used as a fastener between two metal parts.

Benefits

• Easy to install and customize to application requirements.
• Strong and durable; able to withstand significant stress.

Installation (brief)
A wire forming snap ring is installed by inserting the ring into the groove and using the wire or appropriate tool to expand or contract the ring into position.
