Push-on Retaining Rings

Push-on Retaining Rings do not require grooving during the installation process, which can effectively save processing time. Moreover, their size is relatively small, providing an economical solution for small-scale applications with low thrust loads.  

Push on Retaining Rings

Push-on Retaining Rings have a small volume and are easy to install. Just push them into the components until they are fully in place. push-on external retaining rings are also known as push-in fasteners or push-on fastening elements. They are a special type of fastener, characterized by the ability to be simply fixed on the shaft or hole by pushing in, thereby achieving axial positioning, locking or stopping of the parts.  

Push-on Retaining Rings are fasteners that utilize elasticity or special structural designs to enable them to be easily pushed in and fixed at the designated position.

According to different materials, structures and uses, push-on external retaining rings have various types, such as star push-type retaining rings, elastic retaining rings, etc. Among them, the star push-type retaining ring is noted for its unique star-shaped design and high-carbon steel material, and has high supporting strength and durability.

Characteristics of Push-on Retaining Rings:  

  • Easy Installation: The installation process of Push-on Retaining Rings is simple and fast, without the need for complex tools or operations.
  • High Reliability: Once installed in place, push-on external retaining rings can firmly fix the parts and prevent their axial movement.
  • Aesthetics: Some Push-on Retaining Rings are also designed with accessories such as decorative caps to enhance the aesthetics of the overall appearance.

Push-on Retaining Rings, as a convenient and efficient fastener, have a very wide range of application fields. The following are some of the main application fields of Push-on Retaining Rings:  

Automobile manufacturin

In the automotive industry, push-on external retaining rings are widely used in components such as engines, transmission systems, suspension systems, and vehicle bodies. They are used to fix parts such as bearings, gears, and shaft sleeves to ensure that these components do not undergo axial movement during operation, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the vehicle.

Machinery manufacturing

In various types of mechanical equipment, Push-on Retaining Rings also play an important role. They are used at the shaft ends or hole grooves of equipment such as machine tools, pumps, valves, compressors, etc., to fix or limit the axial movement of parts. This type of fastener is easy to install and dismantle, facilitating the maintenance and servicing of the equipment.

Aerospace

In the aerospace field, the requirements for the precision and reliability of parts are extremely high. Due to their simple structure and reliable fastening characteristics, Push-on Retaining Rings are used in key parts such as the engines, transmission systems, and control systems of aircraft and rockets to ensure flight safety.

Electronic devices

Although most fasteners in electronic devices are mainly screws, nuts, etc., in some occasions that require quick installation and disassembly, Push-on Retaining Rings are also adopted. For example, in aspects such as circuit board fixation and connector locking, push-on external retaining rings can provide a stable fixation effect and are convenient for maintenance and replacement at the same time.

Medical devices

In the field of medical devices, Push-on Retaining Rings are also used to fix and connect various components. These fasteners need to have good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance to ensure the safety and service life of medical devices.

Automation equipment

With the continuous development of automation technology, the application of Push-on Retaining Rings in automation equipment is becoming more and more extensive. They are used to fix and connect various components of automation equipment, such as sensors, actuators, etc., to ensure the normal operation and precision requirements of the equipment.

Push-on Retaining Rings have been widely applied in multiple fields due to their characteristics such as easy installation, reliable fastening, and wide application range.
