Snap Rings

Constant Section Retaining Rings, also known as Snap Rings, are retaining rings that are frequently used in situations involving strong loads or impact. In the heavy equipment and automotive industries, engineers frequently choose Snap Retaining Rings, which are made by edgewinding. To hold the shaft inside the assembly and assist retain parts, snap rings slide into shaft grooves. They are easily maintained and repaired on high-wear components since they are detachable and reusable. In order to provide the shaft more grip, some rings have wings or fingers on the inside.
