The self-locking external retaining ring has a tapered section, assembles axially, is made of phosphate finished 1060-1090 carbon steel, and is made in USA. The ring's self-locking construction grips the shaft to maintain placement without the use of a groove. It is not easily removed once installed. The tapered section style provides the ring with flexibility to facilitate installation and typically withstands higher thrust loads than constant section and spiral rings. The ring installs by sliding onto a shaft from the end, also called axial assembly. Axially installed rings reach further around the outside diameter of the shaft than radially installed rings. The 1060-1090 carbon steel is often used in applications where strength is the primary consideration, and the phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance. Retaining rings attach to a shaft (external) or install in a bore (internal), creating a shoulder to maintain component positioning within an assembly. While most rings install into a machined groove either on the inside or outside diameter of a shaft, self-locking rings attach to a shaft by using friction from means such as teeth and notches to maintain placement. Retaining rings should fit tightly enough into the groove or onto the shaft so they won't experience any movement.
