An External Retaining Ring is used to secure components onto a shaft or in a bore. The ring is circular with a gap that allows it to be placed onto a shaft or into a bore without having to slide it over the end of the shaft or bore. It is typically made of durable material that can withstand demanding conditions encountered during operation.Attributes:• Provides a secure retention force that prevents components from sliding off • Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliabilityApplications:An External Retaining Ring is tasked with the retention of the associated parts by implementing kinematic constraints in the system. This is usually installed on the outer diameter of a shaft.
