Mil. Spec. External Retaining Rings
These rings meet military specification MS16624. Open them with retaining ring pliers (sold separately), pass them over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into the groove. Ring ID is measured with the ring uninstalled.
1060-1090 spring steel rings are an economical choice with good strength. The cadmium-plated finish adds some corrosion resistance.
Thrust load capacity, also known as PR, is based on using a shaft that is harder than the ring.

No-Slip Clip-On Enclosed Hex Nuts
Also known as cage clip-on nuts, these have a S-style design that provides more strength than other no-slip clip-on nuts. They firmly clip onto the edge of panels and stay secure. All have a finish that resists corrosion in wet environments.
