Durable carbon steel snap ring for axial retention Key benefits - Long service life: carbon steel construction provides good resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. - Fixed axial positioning: installed in a bore to hold parts in place and control axial movement. - Secure fit: ring diameter is slightly larger than the hole outer diameter to ensure proper seating and retention. Material - Carbon steel Function and fit - Used as a fixed axial positioner when installed in a hole - The ring diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the hole’s outer surface to seat securely Installation guidance - Tools: snap ring pliers - Procedure: - Insert the plier tips into the clip holes of the circlips - Squeeze firmly to compress the circlip - Place the compressed circlip into the pre-machined slot in the bore - Ensure the circlip is seated securely in the slot Applications and use scenarios - Automotive and general machinery: retain bearings, spacers, or sleeves on shafts or in bores to prevent axial movement - Hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders: locate pistons, end caps, or stops within bore assemblies - Gear and pulley assemblies in industrial equipment: secure components to shafts to maintain position during operation Notes - Material: Carbon steel - Design is intended for installations where the hole is machined with a corresponding slot and the ring diameter is slightly larger than the hole’s outer diameter to achieve proper retention
