Heavy duty external retaining ring

The heavy duty external retaining ring is a ring-shaped device used to fix shafts or parts on shafts. It has high strength and durability and is capable of withstanding large loads and impacts.  

Product features of the heavy duty external retaining ring:  

  1. High strength: The heavy duty external retaining ring is made of high-strength materials such as stainless steel and carbon steel, which can withstand large axial and radial forces.
  2. Durability: Through special process treatments, such as heat treatment and surface treatment, the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and service life of the product have been improved.
  3. Safety: It can reliably fix the parts on the shaft, prevent them from loosening or falling off, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment.

Heavy duty external retaining ring are widely used in various mechanical equipment, especially in occasions that need to withstand large loads and impacts, such as in the fields of automotive manufacturing, construction machinery, aerospace, agricultural machinery, etc. They are often used to fix important components such as bearings, gears, couplings, etc., to ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment.

The specifications and models of heavy duty external retaining ring are diverse, and they are usually selected based on parameters such as shaft diameter, hole diameter, and thickness. When making a selection, the following factors need to be considered:

  • Shaft diameter: Select the circlip within the appropriate shaft diameter range according to the installation position and requirements of the parts on the shaft.
  • Hole diameter: Ensure that the hole diameter of the circlip can fit tightly in the hole on the shaft or the parts on the shaft.
  • Thickness: Select the appropriate thickness of the circlip according to the actual needs and load requirements.
  • Material: Select the circlip made of the appropriate material, such as stainless steel, carbon steel, etc., according to the working environment and load requirements.

There are numerous suppliers of heavy duty external retaining ring, including well-known domestic and foreign manufacturers and suppliers. In terms of price, it varies depending on factors such as materials, specifications, and quantities. When purchasing, it is recommended to choose reputable suppliers through regular channels and consult detailed product information and prices.

Precautions

  • When installing and disassembling heavy duty external retaining ring, special tools should be used for the operation to avoid damaging the circlip or the parts on the shaft.
  • During use, the fastening and wear conditions of the circlip should be inspected regularly. If there is looseness or wear, it should be replaced in time.
  • During storage, a dry and clean environment should be maintained to avoid dampness, corrosion or damage.

In conclusion, the heavy duty external retaining ring is an important mechanical part and plays a significant role in mechanical equipment. Selecting the appropriate product and using and maintaining it correctly are of great significance for ensuring the stable operation of the equipment and prolonging its service life.

External circlips and internal circlips are two common types and there are obvious differences between them in many aspects.  

Main distinctionExternal claspInternal clasp
Shape and structureThe geometry curves outward to form a conical or arrow-shaped cutting edgeThe geometry bends inward to form an indented shape
Shape and structureIt is mainly used for fastening and connecting the outer surface of mechanical partsIt is mainly used for internal connection and positioning of mechanical parts
Installation positionThe outer surface or outer structure of a partPart on the internal hole or shaft
Action mechanismThe clamping force generated by its elastic deformation holds the part in placeThe parts are fixed in the internal structure through the elastic deformation of their retraction
Application scenarioIt is often used in situations requiring external fastening and connection, such as bearing fixing, sleeve connection, etcIt is often used in situations requiring internal connection and positioning, such as shaft hole matching, flange connection, etc
