Self-Locking Retaining Rings are ideal for applications that have high rotational requirements. This feature allows the ring to function properly at speeds that exceed the recommended rotational capacity. The self-locking option can be incorporated for both external and internal rings.
Self-locking rings, also called push-on rings, slide over a rod or shaft and secure into place using a ring of internal wings or fingers that bite into the shaft. They do not need grooves like standard retaining rings but have reduced holding power which limits them to light-duty applications.
Smalley offers special retaining ring design features for many different assembly considerations, including applications that have high rotational capacities, balance requirements, and interlocking requirements. Contact a Smalley Engineer to discuss a special ring design for your application.
Self-locking internal retaining rings are ideal for installation in a housing with no groove. These snap rings are available in a wide range of sizes and materials.
Self-Locking External Retaining Rings No groove is required for these light duty rings— their thick profile helps them grip the shaft. Open them with retaining ring pliers (sold separately), pass them over the end of a shaft, and release to install.
