Rings for End-Play Takeup
Rotor Clip bowed retaining rings are designed to compensate for accumulated tolerances in assemblies. Once snapped into the groove, bowed rings exert a force or "preload" on the retained parts made to the low side of the tolerances "snugging" everything up. They also act like a spring and "give" when parts made to the high side of teh tolerances extend too far into the groove.
