Retaining rings restrain coils, insulation and blocking near the end turns of a generator rotor. They must have high strength and fracture toughness to withstand the tangential and axial stresses that ...

Trouble-free connection of components to shafts, in housings, or on bores — essential for torque transmission and position maintenance — is simplified with retaining rings. However, the effects of ...

Smalley’s Retaining Ring Types and Selection guide provides an in-depth look at the various retaining rings available, helping engineers choose the right solution for their applications. It covers key ...

Hoop-style rings fit shallower. Hoop-style retaining rings offer an innovative way to retain mechanical components when space is limited. Their thin cross section results in minimal radial projection ...

There are certain tools that are considered nice-to-have items right up until they are necessary. Then you're screwed. Retaining ring pliers, or snap ring pliers, are one of them. I've gotten away ...
