Stainless Steel 304 External Circlip for Shaft with a Collar (M4-M90)

A shaft retaining ring, also known as an axial retaining ring or shaft circlip, is a fastener used to position and hold parts on a shaft axilly. It is usually made of spring steel material, which has good elasticity and strength, and is able to withstand a certain axial force, preventing the parts on the shaft from moving along the axial direction. The use of retaining rings for shafts can simplify the assembly process and improve assembly efficiency, while ensuring the correct position of parts on the shaft and avoiding mechanical failures caused by axial displacement.
Retaining rings for shafts are widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as hydraulic systems, pneumatic systems, automobiles, motors, pumps, compressors, etc., to fix the position of parts on shafts such as bearings, gears, pulleys, couplings, etc. In these applications, shaft rings ensure the stability and reliability of the part and prevent axial displacement due to vibration or shock, extending the life of the equipment and reducing maintenance costs.
