Internal spiral retaining rings have no ears in your assembly! Spiral retaining rings are manufactured by coiling the ring from flat wire. This unique process produces a retaining ring that has no protruding ears or burrs to interfere with your assembly. Because coiling produces a retaining ring with no scrap, the internal spiral retaining ring can be economically produced in carbon steel, stainless steel, coppers, and many other alloys.
No gap – 360 retaining surface.
No protruding ears interfere with mating components (uniform cross-section).
Economically produced in stainless steel because the coiling process produces no scrap.
No – Charge on custom designs.
Easy installation and removal.
There is a big difference between the two in terms of appearance:
65mn elastic internal spiral retaining ring is a special part for supporting automobile steering column. It acts on the inner casing of the steering column of the automobile to prevent the bearing from falling off and stabilize the rotation of the inner casing in the outer casing.
65mn internal spiral retaining ring is a widely used carbon spring steel with high strength, hardness, elasticity and hardenability. During heat treatment, there is a tendency to overheat sensitivity and temper brittleness, and it is easy to crack during water quenching, so oil quenching is generally used. This steel is generally used after quenching and tempering at medium temperature. It is used to manufacture mechanical parts that require high wear resistance, high strength and high elasticity. Considering the manufacturing and process cost and the good processing and use performance of 65Mn material, 65Mn is selected as the manufacturing material of this part.
To sum up, the 65Mn elastic internal spiral retaining ring can be directly formed by two sets of molds: blanking, punching and bending. The subsequent heat treatment process is the key to the quality stability of the part. Real-time monitoring during the production of parts is essential, and making corresponding measures according to different situations can bring greater help to ensure product quality.
