Product Information

Self-Locking Retaining Rings are ideal for applications that have high rotational requirements. This feature allows the ring to function properly at speeds that exceed the recommended rotational capacity.

The self-locking option can be incorporated for both external and internal rings. It utilises a small tab on the inside turn locking into a slot on the outside turn. This enables the ring to operate at high speeds, withstand vibration, function under rapid acceleration and absorb a degree of impact loading.

OD & ID Self-Locking Ring

  • Easy assembly and removal
  • Easy visual verification of proper installation
  • Available in heavier cross-sections of wire

       Centerline Locking Feature

  • Self-Locking feature is found in the center and therefore not allowed to interfere with mating components
  • Prevents misalignment of the ring under side loading
  • Installation is manual and once installed the rings become tamper proof. Removal requires installation of new ring.

      Installation ToolingSnap the last end into place with a sharp hammer blow. Check to make sure locking tab is completely in locking slot.
