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

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

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 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.
