Thicker than standard external retaining rings, these rings withstand greater force.

For a smooth profile and better clearance than standard external retaining rings, the lugs on these rings point inward.

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

Also known as flat-style speed nuts, these have a large surface to distribute loads better than standard and flanged external push rings.

The wide flange provides better load distribution than standard external push rings and can be used to cover oversized holes. Also known as thread cutting nuts.

Assortments include pliers to install external and internal rings.

Pull these rings open with retaining ring pliers, pass over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into a groove.

Also known as E-Style and C-style rings, slide these into the groove from the side of the shaft. They provide a wider shoulder than other external retaining rings for a larger retaining surface.

These assortments include rings in multiple colors so you can identify objects at a glance.
