A Stick Cylinder Piston Retaining Ring features a circular shape with a groove on the inner circumference. This groove fits snugly into a corresponding groove machined onto the piston. The ring's inherent tension keeps it in place, applying a constant force against the groove and securing the piston.Attributes:• Withstands the high forces and pressures• Manufactured with Steel which gives excellent strengthApplications:A Stick Cylinder Piston Retaining Ring is compressed and inserted into a corresponding groove machined on the piston rod. The ring's inherent tension expands it back to its original shape, creating a tight fit within the groove. This secure fit prevents the piston from moving axially or coming off the rod during operation.
