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. Use a side-mount retaining ring tool (sold separately) to push them into the groove from the side of the shaft. Ring OD is measured with the ring uninstalled.
1060-1090 spring steel rings are an economical choice with good strength. The black-phosphate finish resists rust.
15-7 PH stainless steel rings are high strength with good corrosion resistance. Rings are passivated for added protection against corrosion.
Thrust load capacity, also known as PR, is based on using a shaft that is harder than the ring.
