wire forming rings

Description:

Constant section retaining rings feature a uniform, constant section. This means that the material used to make the ring is the same width at any point along the circumference of the ring. These cost less than tapered and spiral retaining rings and provide only three point contact with the groove.

Constant section rings (snap rings) are often specified for heavy duty or shock loaded applications. With edge winding and no custom tooling fees, snap rings have been specified as the standard choice of engineers in the automotive and heavy equipment industries for many years.

Advantages of constant section retaining rings

1. No assembly/disassembly lugs = space saving in radial direction;
2. Edges with radius, no stamping burrs;
3. Square edge wire for sharp-edged installations;
4. No special tooling for exotic materials;
5. No special tooling for installing and removal necessary;
6. Conform to DIN 471/472;
7. Higher ring shear;
8. Special ends for specific applications;
9. Heavy duty sections for higher rotational capacities.
