Thicker than standard external retaining rings, these rings withstand greater force.

For a smooth profile and better clearance than standard external retaining rings, the lugs on these rings point inward.

The curved design of these rings works like a spring, taking up play for a tight hold.

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

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.

Thicker than standard spiral rings, these rings withstand greater forces.

Slide these rings into place with one twist—no tools required—for applications with high thrust loads.

Often used with small engines, heavy equipment, and power transmission, these external retaining rings have speared ends to help you install and remove them.

Also known as constant-section rings, these rings have open ends and a profile that does not taper like other external retaining rings. Use them with linear bearings on support rail shafts.
