An Internal Retaining Ring is placed into a groove in the torque converter housing. Often internal retaining rings are tapered from the top of the ring to the free end of the ring. This is to help with installation since the overall height of the ring decreases as it is compressed. This enables the ring to grip the entire groove in the housing and hence withstand higher thrust loads. Attributes:• Reduce wear and damage on components• Withstand high temperatures without losing their strength or integrity• Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliabilityApplications:An Internal Retaining Ring is used in the transfer drive setup to secure, reliable mounting of the stator to prevent axial movement during operation. The internal retaining ring is compressed and inserted into this groove inside the housing.
