Metric Axially Assembled Rings

Axial retaining rings are designed for axial installation into machined grooves.  These rings are either internal for installation in housings and bores, or external, for assembly on shafts.  Once installed, they provide a protrusion or "shoulder" for retaining parts.

Metric Radially Assembled Rings

Radial retaining rings are radially installed into machined grooves on shafts.  They don't have lugs or lug holes and do not extend as far around the circumference of the grooves as their axial counterparts.  Consequently, they can be installed quickly using Rotor Clip applicators and dispensers.

Metric Self-Locking Rings

Self-locking retaining rings can be installed on a shaft or in a housing/bore without using a groove.  They save machining time and overall costs since a groove is not needed for installation.  Most self-locking retaining rings can not be easily removed once installed.
