Mil. Spec. External Retaining Rings
These rings meet military specification MS16624. Open them with retaining ring pliers (sold separately), pass them over the end of a shaft, and release to spring into the groove. Ring ID is measured with the ring uninstalled.
1060-1090 spring steel rings are an economical choice with good strength. The cadmium-plated finish adds some corrosion resistance.
Thrust load capacity, also known as PR, is based on using a shaft that is harder than the ring.

No-Slip Clip-On Enclosed Hex Nuts
Also known as S-nuts, these nuts have the strongest grip of any of our clip-on nuts. They firmly squeeze both sides of a thin panel to create a secure fastening point for screws.
Cadmium-plated steel nuts are more corrosion resistant in wet environments than zinc-plated steel nuts. The plating also adds slipperiness, making them easy to slide onto a panel.
