Product Description

External snap retaining rings are precision fasteners designed to securely hold components onto shafts or pins by fitting into a machined groove on the outside diameter. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, they provide reliable retention, durability, and long service life in mechanical, industrial, automotive, and marine applications. Easy to install and remove, these retaining rings are ideal for assemblies requiring secure positioning and maintenance access.

Features:

• PH 15-7/17-7 are both high strength corrosion resistant types of stainless steel with good workability, easy hardening, and excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures
• A plain finished part is one that has not been treated or had a finish applied to it for additional protection
• Economical solution when parts are frequently changed out or don’t have exposure to corrosion
• Stainless steel contains more than 11% chromium, resists corrosion, maintains its strength at high temperatures, and is easily maintained
• Stainless steel is strong, durable, and corrosion resistant
• External snap rings are axially installed in the groove of a shaft with a portion of the ring protruding from the groove that is also called a shoulder and holds an assembly in place
