External Retaining Rings Assortment

Stock up on our go-to external retaining rings in a range of sizes. Open with retaining ring pliers, pass over the end of a shaft, and release to spring the ring into the groove.

Phosphate-Coated Carbon Steel—The most popular choice, these are strong and wear resistant. Their finish adds some corrosion resistance, but only to minimal dampness.

Zinc-Yellow-Chromate-Plated Carbon Steel and Zinc-Plated Carbon Steel—These rings are strong with good wear resistance. They provide some corrosion resistance, but not as much as stainless steel rings.

15-7 PH Stainless Steel—Combine strength with corrosion resistance. While harder than most stainless steel rings, these will dent and scratch easier than carbon steel ones.

1.4122 Stainless Steel—Corrosion and wear resistant rings that won't break down from rubbing against other metal.
