These rings meet military specification MS 16624.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Also known as flat-style speed nuts, these have large sides, so they're easy to push over threads by hand.

Wind these retaining rings into a groove—no tools required for installation.
