  • Compact Retaining Rings Fit into Tight Spaces
    Retaining Rings for Tight Spaces Hoop-style retaining rings are well suited for use with cylinders and thin-wall tubing. The shaft or housing, not the ring, usually limits load capacity. Hoop-style retaining rings offer an innovative way to retain mechanical components when space is limited
  • Rings get in the groove Without Tools
    Spiral-wound retaining rings expand the design envelope of conventional snap rings. A Smalley spiral retaining ring holds together halves of a split ring in a hydraulic cylinder ram. The arrangement is much simpler than bolted designs, say developers at Allied Systems Co., Sherwood, Oreg. Spiral
  • Stamped Rings
    Stamped retaining rings have a tapered radial width that decreases symmetrically from the center section to the free ends. Tapered construction permits the rings to remain circular when they are expanded for assembly over a shaft or contracted for insertion into a bore or housing. This constant
  • Spiral-Wound Rings
    Spiral-wound retaining rings consist of one or more turns of rectangular edge-wound wire. This provides a coil which can be installed or removed using automatic equipment or simple hand tools. When required, a 360 uniform thickness can be obtained by offsetting one material thickness at the coil
  • Wire-formed Rings
    applications. Round-section rings are for external use on shafts only and are used where the expected load is light. Ring assembly and disassembly tools range from a screwdriver to automatic tools, depending on the application. Carbon spring steel (SAE-1060) is the standard material used in retaining rings
  • What Is A Tolerance Ring?
    AN rings have corrugations that face inward. They are open in the free state, so that when installed inside a bore, the ring conforms to the bore and is self-retaining. AN rings are designed to fit outside a nominal circumference. ANL rings are light-duty versions of AN rings. The material
  • Next-generation plastics let wafers fly through manufacturing
    = Poor, m = Medium, m+ = between medium and good; g = Good. MATERIALS FOR CMP CONSUMABLES. Key drivers for designers looking to replace metal and ceramic CMP retaining rings with advanced plastics are lower ring cost per wafer, processing ease, longer consumable service life, and a good balance of high
  • How retaining forces affect spindle bearings
    . Higher compression tends to reduce preload in the bearing set and therefore reduce assembly stiffness. Excessive retaining compression can distort the outer ring and result in detrimental bearing runout. Therefore, the recommended range of retaining compression for this specific application
