Features and Benefits of Spiral Retaining Rings

Spiral retaining rings is different from traditional stamped retainer rings. The spiral retaining ring adopts a winding manufacturing process for precise diameter requirements. They have a uniform cross-section (anti-interference, no-ear assembly) and no burrs. Spiral retaining ring meets the specifications of the military and aerospace industries and is used in thousands of mechanical products worldwide. The common card retainer ring has interference with internal parts due to the presence of ears on its structure. The elastic retainer ring produced from stainless steel has a consistent cross-section without ears, so it will not interfere with the mating parts after installation, and the cost of the elastic retainer ring is lower than that of the card retainer ring. The use of elastic retainer rings can eliminate the need for a shaft table design, reduce the size of the shaft, and save material and processing time. The wave retainer ring is a removable retainer ring with a wave shape. A wave retainer ring can replace one retainer ring and one wave spring, which can pre-apply pressure to the ball bearing, and also assemble in the groove like a common retainer ring. The double-ring offset outer retainer ring is used to replace the shaft table. It is used to secure nozzle parts for easy assembly. The width of the retainer ring is designed to have zero interference, and its outer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the thread root. In pressure gauges, the wave retainer ring is installed in a shallow groove, which produces only a very small pressure on the surface glass. In this way, the retainer ring can both secure the surface glass without crushing it. The retainer ring forms sidewalls on both sides of the synchronous pulley. This method eliminates the need for press-in sidewalls. To facilitate belt replacement, one side of the retainer ring is designed to be easily removable. The wave retainer ring is easy to meet on-site maintenance requirements. If the hydraulic cylinder seal ring needs to be repaired, the snap ring can be quickly removed with a screwdriver and easily reinstalled. There are many uses for retaining rings, such as contact me, for more information, please contact us. In addition, the use of wave springs is also widely used, such as for adjustable pulleys, bearing pre-pressing, electrical connections, hydraulic seals, clutches, ball valves, fluid valve couplings, etc.
