External Retaining Ring Assortments
Pull these rings open with retaining ring pliers, pass over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into a groove. All are magnetic.
Steel retaining rings are an economical choice with good strength. A black-phosphate finish is mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments. In wet environments, zinc yellow-chromate plated finishes have some corrosion resistance, and zinc-chromate plated finishes have good corrosion resistance.
15-7 PH stainless steel retaining rings have high strength with good corrosion resistance.
DIN 1.4122 stainless steel retaining rings withstand wear caused by abrasion, similar to 400 series stainless steel.
