What is a Retaining Ring?

A retaining ring is usually made of metal, (steel or brass but other materials and finishes are available) and it comes in two versions:

• Spiral retaining ring

• Snap (retaining) ring

Both types are used for locating and locking parts in place on a shaft. Retaining rings can also be used to replace nuts, cotter pins, rivets or other bulky fasteners. They are a smart and economical way to lock a part on a shaft.

How Retaining Rings Work

When assembled on a shaft or cylinder, retaining rings provide “shoulders" to help locate and hold parts together.

Retaining rings are fastened on the axel and can be removed with retaining ring pliers.
