Elastic Retaining Ring Standard Properties Industry Solutions

Elastic Retaining Ring is a commonly used retaining ring fastener for shafts. It is characterized by excellent anti-loosening performance and is used to clamp the shaft to ensure that the position of the shaft remains unchanged, achieving the purpose of tightening.

The standard of an elastic retaining ring is divided according to its shape and size, mostly the inner diameter size of the inner ring, the outer diameter size of the outer ring, and the width and thickness of the elastic retaining ring. The size of the outer ring is usually expressed according to the caliber, and the size of the inner ring is described according to the inner diameter and thickness, respectively. In contrast, the width of the elastic retaining ring is defined according to the outer diameter of its outer ring.

The standard of the elastic retaining ring is compiled according to the international standard ISO, the American standard ANSI, and the German standard DIN, and the difference between each standard may be relatively large, so the user should be clear about the difference between them when selecting the elastic retaining ring to choose the correct standard. The standard should also include the installation of the elastic retaining ring, whichcan be installed in various ways, such as insertion installation, compression installation, etc. When installing, attention should be paid to the diameter of the shaft, the width of the elastic retaining ring, the outer diameter of the outer ring, etc., to ensure the reasonable installation of the elastic retaining ring.

In conclusion, the standard of an elastomeric retaining ring is essential, and it involves not only the size and shape of the elastomeric retaining ring but also the process of selection and installation by the user.

1. Bowed External Retaining Rings

The curved design of these rings works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold. Open them with retaining ring pliers (sold separately), pass them over the end of a shaft, and release them to spring into the groove. Ring ID is measured by the ring being uninstalled. The black-phosphate finish is mildly corrosion-resistant in dry environments.

Thrust load capacity, or PR, uses a more rigid shaft than the ring.

2. Heavy Duty Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as reinforced E-style rings, these rings are reinforced to withstand faster rotation than other side-mount retaining rings. Use a side-mount retaining ring tool (sold separately) to push them into the groove from the side of the shaft. They fit in the same grooves as standard E-style rings. Ring OD is measured when the ring is uninstalled.

3. Wide-Grip Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as poodle rings, these thick rings have "ears" that form a large retaining surface to withstand more vital forces than other side-mount retaining rings. Use a side-mount retaining ring tool (sold separately) to push them into the groove from the side of the shaft. Ring OD is measured when the ring is uninstalled.

Shaft elastic retaining ring, shaft circlip, shaft retaining card, shaft retaining ring. It is installed in the grooved shaft and used as a fixed part of the hole for movement; this kind of retaining ring of the inner diameter is slightly smaller than the diameter of the assembly shaft. Installation must use the card spring pliers, insert the jaws into the jaw hole of the retaining ring, and expand the retaining ring, which must be placed into the pre-processed shaft groove.

The specification range of elastic retaining ring for the shaft is Φ8-Φ200; heat treatment requires quenching and tempering, HRC 44-51 (process reference value); material 65Mn spring steel is the primary material, the surface treatment of the product, spring steel is heat-treated blackened or phosphatized, to ensure the hardness, elasticity, and uniformity. The surface is flush with the deburring. Stainless steel: The stainless steel retaining ring surface color is bright. We can also be customized according to your needs and conditions of use, and we can select the appropriate material to maximize your needs.
