These rings are reinforced to withstand faster rotation than other side‐mount retaining rings. Also known as reinforced E‐style rings.

Open these rings, pass them over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into the groove.

No groove is required for these rings—their thick profile helps them grip the shaft.

The curved design of these rings works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

For a smooth bore and better clearance than standard internal retaining rings, the lugs on these rings face outward.

Also known as split pins, these have one prong slightly longer than the other so they’re easy to open. Bend prongs outward to secure.

Slide these heavy duty pins into the through-hole in a clevis pin, then hit them with a hammer to wedge the prongs open.

Constructed with a saddle for both the long (live) end and the short (dead) end, these clamps apply equal pressure without crimping or crushing the wire rope, so orientation doesn't matter. Also known as fist grip wire rope clips.

Also known as open wedge sockets, these end fittings require only a torque wrench to install.
