Spiral retaining ring

Spiral retaining ring Characteristics:  

  • Spiral retaining ring have no protruding ears and will not interfere with mating components;
  • The production cost of stainless steel is low because no waste is generated during the coiling process;
  • There are no gaps, creating a usable and aesthetically pleasing product;
  • Widely used in various industries and applications.

As we explore the significant role of spirolox retaining ring in various industries, you will discover the incredible versatility of spiral snap rings. No matter which material you choose, we can manufacture them according to standards. Spiral retaining ring are meticulously designed to meet your unique needs.

When choosing the appropriate snap ring, it is crucial to understand your options. HSPR can customize various styles of snap rings according to your needs. Whether it’s conical section snap rings, spring snap rings, constant section snap rings, or Spiral retaining ring, we have the professional knowledge to help you find the perfect solution.

Coil structure:  

The unique coiled design of the round snap ring can ensure uniform load distribution, eliminate stress concentration points, and enhance resistance to higher loads and vibrations without affecting performance. Unlike other types of snap rings, these snap rings feature a lug-free design, which means they can also save assembly space and will not interfere with mating components.

Multifunctional and adjustable:

The spiral elastic snap ring can be coiled into almost any size or number of turns, making it highly adaptable to various assembly requirements. Being coiled into a spiral means we can also flexibly choose sizes from small diameters to large diameters .

Cost-effectiveness and waste reduction:

The adaptability and customization options of the spiral rings contribute to cost savings as they do not require expensive tools and production processes. The winding process also generates minimal or even no waste, thereby further optimizing manufacturing and assembly efficiency while addressing environmental and sustainability issues.

Spiral retaining ring have now become indispensable components in various industries, with advantages such as uniform load distribution, strong resistance to loads and vibrations, adaptation to various assembly requirements, convenient installation and disassembly, high cost-effectiveness and customizability.

The use of spiral snap ring may change your application, allowing you to save time and resources while ensuring long-lasting reliability.  

Spiral retaining ring are mainly used in internal and external low-thrust load applications. They are wound from flat wire and are usually wound one to two times to reflect the design requirements of a specific snap ring. This design differs from standard shell snap rings in two fundamental aspects.  

Specifications of spiral snap rings:  

  • Light-duty: Light-duty application spirolox ring are ideal for thrust loads, axial positioning, and low-clearance applications.
  • Medium-duty: Our medium-duty spiral elastic snap rings can withstand light to medium thrust loads.
  • Medium-heavy-duty: Our medium-heavy-duty spiral elastic snap rings are easy to install and can withstand medium to heavy loads.
  • Heavy-duty: Heavy-duty elastic snap rings are one of the strongest elastic snap rings in the industry. They are the ideal choice for thrust loads that require deep grooves and heavy load-bearing capacity. These spiral elastic snap rings are interchangeable with most stamped elastic snap rings.

The installation and disassembly of Spiral retaining ring are both simple. No special tools are required during assembly because the snap ring can be wound into the groove, but simple tools can achieve high-speed automatic assembly. During disassembly, the spirolox ring are equipped with disassembly notches or scalloped holes. An ordinary screwdriver can be used to enter the notch and wind the snap ring out of the groove.

  1. Locate the groove;
  2. Separate the spiral ring to fit the end into the groove;
  3. Guide the spiral ring into the groove on the hole;
  4. Snap the spiral ring into the groove. If necessary, a screwdriver can be used;
  5. Installation completed.
