    Secure components on a shaft with our go-to external retaining rings. Shaped in the most common style, these are tapered so the thickest section is opposite their opening for a secure 360-degree hold. Open with retaining ring pliers, pass over the end of a shaft, then release them to spring into a groove.
    Ring ID is measured with the ring uninstalled.
    Beryllium Copper—Nonmagnetic rings that conduct electricity and have good corrosion and wear resistance. Do not use in direct contact with acetylene.
