Spiral Retaining Rings Buying Considerations

  • Determine the appropriate material based on your environmental conditions and strength requirements.
  • Choose between single-turn and multi-turn rings depending on the level of load distribution needed.
  • Consider corrosion resistance features for applications in harsh environments.
  • Check compatibility with shaft or bore diameter to ensure a secure fit.
  • Evaluate whether the ring can be easily installed and removed for maintenance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are spiral retaining rings used for?
Spiral retaining rings are used to secure components onto a shaft or inside a bore, preventing movement along the axis of the assembly.
How do spiral retaining rings differ from traditional snap rings?
Unlike snap rings, spiral retaining rings have a continuous 360-degree structure that offers uniform force distribution without gaps.
Can spiral retaining rings be reused?
Yes, they can often be reused, provided they are not damaged or deformed during the removal process.
What materials are spiral retaining rings made from?
They are typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloy materials to suit various environmental and strength requirements.
