Stainless Steel 304 E Ring Snap Collar Circlip for Shaft (M2-M50)

Open retaining rings, because of their shape and open in the shape of an E, are a type of fastener that is widely used in mechanical fixation and positioning. Open retaining rings are widely used in many fields such as agriculture, industry, and the automotive industry. As long as the machinery in this industry supports bearing rotation, it may be necessary to use open rings to secure and position the bearings. Although the main function is to fix and position, in some cases, the open retaining ring can also be used as an auxiliary seal, and the specific application needs to select the appropriate sealing material according to the actual mechanical conditions and working environment of different industries.
Open rings are often used to secure bearings on shafts, restricting axial movement of bearings by snapping into grooves in the shaft. Groove on the gear, the groove depth is equal to the diameter of the cylindrical pin, and the open retaining ring is used in conjunction with the cylindrical pin to fix the gear. The open retaining ring is used in conjunction with the cylindrical pin to fix other parts on the shaft, such as bushings, shaft end covers, etc., and prevent these parts from moving in the axial direction.
