The role of the retaining ring and classification of industrial solutions

The retaining ring is now widely used to block a component's fixed role. It is also used to improve and close the axial or radial gap to prevent leakage of mechanical parts in the automatic transmission system, hydraulic system, and other fields in a wide range of applications. The retaining ring's structural characteristics and functions have a vital role in the regular operation of mechanical equipment.

Overview and structural characteristics of retaining ring

The materials of the retaining ring are mostly metal materials; according to the use environment and functional requirements of the retaining ring, the commonly used metal materials are 65Mn, GCr15, 45#, 20Cr, 40Cr, and so on. The shapes and sizes of retaining rings vary according to different needs, and there are other shapes such as round, square, diamond, plum blossom, etc. The sizes also vary according to specific applications. The surface treatment of the retaining ring is generally galvanized, hot-dipped, painted, and so on. The retaining ring mainly plays the role of axial fixation, in which the conical surface plus retaining ring fixation has a higher degree of centering. The retaining ring is generally used for axial positioning, sub-shaft retaining ring, hole retaining ring, open retaining ring, etc.; the general material 65Mn with more, mainly used for the parts of the fixed, to prevent the chaotic retaining ring has a high strength, hardness, elasticity and other characteristics of the market retaining ring of a variety of types, there are flat retaining ring, inclined retaining ring, in the retaining ring, etc., on the parts of the fixed position is also relatively different and the specifications are not the same. The retaining ring is a wider use of carbon spring steel, compared with 65 steel, with high strength, hardness, elasticity, and hardenability. The critical quenching diameter in the water is generally 30 ~ 50mm, and the oil is generally 16-32mm; heat treatment with superheat sensitivity and tempering brittleness tendency, water quenching is easy to crack, the general use of oil quenching, retaining ring cross-section size > 80 should be satisfied and oil-cooled water satisfying: annealing cutting is good, but the cold deformation plasticity is low, welding properties. Cold deformation plasticity is standard, with poor welding performance. The Sheer fire generally uses this ret for ring, medium, and temperature tempering.

The classification of the composition of the retaining ring (according to its function)

1. Fixed and closed: The retaining ring can be fixed and closed axially or radially to provide stability for machinery and equipment and prevent leakage and other failures.

2. Reduce wear and tear: A retaining ring can reduce the wear and tear of mechanical equipment during operation and extend its service life.

3. improve the sealing: A retaining ring can enhance the sealing of mechanical equipment and prevent the hydraulic system and lubrication system from oil leakage to ensure the regular operation of machinery and equipment.

4. Reduce friction: A retaining ring can reduce the friction of mechanical equipment in the operation process and reduce the heat generated by friction to ensure the regular operation of mechanical equipment.

The role of the retaining ring according to its classification

Taper pin lock ring, screw lock ring, screw lock ring, steel ring, hole with elastic ring-A type, hole with elastic ring-B type, shaft with elastic ring-A type, shaft with elastic ring-B type, retaining ring, bolt fastening screw fastening shaft end ring, hole with steel ring, shaft with steel wire ring.

Flat retaining ring: a separable, basically flat washer; it's the inner or outer part used as a centripetal cylindrical roller bearing outer ring or inner ring retaining edge.

Skewed retaining ring: with an "L"-shaped cross-section that can be separated from the ring, the outer part of its role as a centripetal roller ball bearings within the edge.

Center retaining ring: two or more rows of roller bearings in the separable ring, used to separate and guide the rows of rollers. The retaining edge parallels the narrow shoulder's rolling direction and protruding raceway surface. It supports and drives the rolling body and keeps it in the bearing.

The detailed classification of the retaining ring

The retaining ring has taper pin locking retaining ring, screw locking retaining ring, with locking ring screw locking retaining ring, steel wire retaining ring, hole with elastic retaining ring - A type, hole with stretchy retaining ring - B type, shaft with flexible retaining ring - A kind, shaft with elastic retaining ring - B type, screw fastening shaft end retaining ring, bolt fastening shaft end retaining ring, hole with steel wire retaining ring, shaft with steel wire retaining ring and so on.

The use of retaining ring industrial solutions

Retaining rings have many applications in mechanical transmission, hydraulics, engines, and other fields. The structural characteristics and functions of the retaining ring determine its importance in mechanical equipment. Applying a retaining ring can ensure the everyday work of mechanical equipment helps extend its service life and improve its performance and efficiency. The fixing of parts on the shaft is divided into axial fixing and circumferential fixing. Axial fixing methods are axial shoulder or axial ring fixing, shaft end retaining ring or taper fixing, sleeve fixing, round nut fixing, and elastic retaining ring fixing. The retaining ring mainly plays the role of axial fixing, in which the tapered surface plus retaining ring fixing has a higher degree of centering. The rolling bearing retaining ring is equivalent to a movable retaining edge, is used to stall the roller, and is easy to install. The structure of the retaining ring has a flat retaining ring, an oblique retaining ring, and a center retaining ring. The retaining ring is an essential mechanical accessory, fixed and closed, that reduces wear and tear, improves sealing, reduces friction, and performs other functions. The structural characteristics and functions of retaining rings have a vital role in the regular operation of mechanical equipment, so they have a wide range of applications and importance in automatic transmission systems, hydraulic systems, and other fields.
