External Retaining Rings

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

Heavy Duty External Retaining Rings

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

Mil. Spec. External Retaining Rings

These rings meet military specification MS 16624.

Self-Locking External Retaining Rings

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

Inverted External Retaining Rings

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

Bowed External Retaining Rings

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

Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as E-style rings.

Low-Clearance Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as C-style and crescent rings, these rings have a small shoulder to fit in tight spaces.

Heavy Duty Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

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

Wide-Grip Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as poodle rings, these thick rings have "ears" that form a large retaining surface to withstand stronger forces than other side-mount retaining rings.

Bowed Side-Mount External Retaining Rings

Also known as bowed E-style rings, these have a curved design that works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

Push-On External Retaining Rings

No groove required—press these rings onto the end of a shaft for a firm grip.

Rectangular Push-On External Retaining Rings

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

Push-On Retaining Caps

Use these caps to hold components in place and protect shaft ends.

Flanged Push-On External Retaining 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.

Spiral External Retaining Rings

These coiled rings can be wound into place on a shaft without tools.

Single-Turn Spiral External Retaining Rings

Slide these rings into place with one twist—no tools required—for applications with high thrust loads.

Heavy Duty Spiral External Retaining Rings

Thicker than standard spiral rings, these rings withstand greater forces.

Clip-On External Retaining Rings

Slide these rings into a groove near the end of the shaft and the tab locks them in place.

Crimp-On External Retaining Rings

Also known as X-washers, place these rings into the groove and squeeze tight with pliers to form a 360° closure.

Speared Ends External Retaining Rings

Often used with small engines, heavy equipment, and power transmission, these external retaining rings have speared ends to help you install and remove them.

Low-Clearance External Retaining Rings

Also known as constant-section rings, these rings have open ends and a profile that does not taper like other external retaining rings. Use them with linear bearings on support rail shafts.

Internal Retaining Rings

Squeeze these rings to place them in the groove inside a bore or housing.

Inverted Internal Retaining Rings

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

Bowed Internal Retaining Rings

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

Heavy-Duty Internal Retaining Rings

Thicker and stronger than standard internal retaining rings, these withstand greater thrust loads.

Internal Teeth Retaining Rings

With teeth along the inside, these retaining rings hold chamfered shafts inside the housing of your equipment.

Single-Turn Spiral Internal Retaining Rings

Slide these rings into place by hand with a single twist for applications with high thrust loads.

Heavy Duty Spiral Internal Retaining Rings

Thicker than standard spiral rings, these rings withstand greater forces.

Spiral Internal Retaining Rings

These coiled rings can be wound into place inside a bore or housing without tools.

Push-On Internal Retaining Rings

No groove required—these rings have teeth that firmly grip the bore.

Bundling, Routing, and Suspending

Magnetic Vibration-Damping Routing Clamps

Temporarily route material across duct, racks, machinery, and other ferrous surfaces. Clamps fit tightly around pressurized lines in hydraulic systems to lessen vibration. Rubber cushions reduce wear from clamp edges and protect lines from corrosion caused by metal-to-metal contact.

Routing J-Hooks

Route bundles of wire and cable through a single hook. A wide opening allows access for installation, adjustment, and removal.

Routing Rings

Also known as bridle rings, routing rings have an open-eye design that allows you to quickly install wire and cable.

Magnetic Routing Ring Bases

Temporarily mount routing rings and other threaded components to steel and iron surfaces.

Cable Holders

Mount to a surface to secure and route cable.

Hook and Loop Cable Tie Mounts

Add a hook and loop cable tie to these mounts to secure a bundle.

Cable Tie Mounts

Mount to a surface and add a cable tie to secure a bundle.

Spring and Plier Clamps

Spring Clamps with Flexible Arm

Attached to an arm you can flex into position, these clamps hold objects such as a flashlight, tool, or instructions.

Clothespins and Spring Clips

Hold lightweight objects, secure covers, and seal bags.

Paper Clips and Holders

Bulldog Clips

Secure small objects with these clips.

Magnetic-Grip Wall Clips

Mount these clips with the adhesive backing, then post paper and notes between the two vinyl-covered magnets.

Magnet-Mount Holders

Store tools such as brooms, screwdrivers, and flashlights with these holders that attach to magnetic surfaces.

Magnet-Mount Holder Racks

Organize small parts and hand tools with these racks, which attach to steel walls, cabinets, and other magnetic surfaces.

Electrical

Magnetic-Back DIN Rails

Mount and reposition components without drilling leaky holes in your steel enclosure—a strong magnet holds these DIN rails in place.

Grounding Clamps for Welding

Designed specifically for use with welding circuits.

Name-Badge Sleeves with Magnetic Clip

With a magnetic clip strong enough to hold onto blazers, these badges stay in place without snagging or wrinkling clothing.

Magnetic Socket Organizers

Magnets hold sockets securely in place.
