Stainless Steel Washer Type C Snap Internal Circlip Retaining Ring Key benefits - Secure: Designed to sit in internal grooves and hold components axially in place, preventing unwanted movement or disassembly. - Durable and corrosion-resistant: Made from high quality 304 stainless steel for long service life in humid or corrosive environments. - Versatile sizes: Available in sizes 8 - 75 to match a wide range of housings and assemblies. See picture 7 dimensional drawing for exact parameters. - Reliable fit: Precision-formed C-snap shape provides consistent spring tension and retention once installed. Material and performance - Material: 304 stainless steel — rust-proof and anti-corrosion for extended durability. - Performance: Maintains shape and retention force under typical mechanical and environmental conditions appropriate for 304 stainless. Function and compatibility - Function: Internal circlip / retaining ring for installation into a bore or housing groove to retain bearings, shafts, pistons, or other components. - Compatibility: Suited for applications where an internal snap ring is required; check the dimensional drawing (picture 7) to confirm exact fit for your bore and groove dimensions. Sizes and measurements - Available sizes: 8 - 75 (refer to picture 7 dimensional drawing for detailed parameters). - Measurement note: Sizes are measured manually and may have slight errors. Verify critical dimensions before final installation. Practical use scenarios - Pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders: Retains pistons or end components inside cylinder bores to maintain sealing and alignment. - Machinery and bearings: Holds bearings or sleeves inside housings to prevent axial movement during operation. - Automotive and valve assemblies: Secures internal components such as valve seats or small shafts where a compact, reliable retainer is needed. Installation and handling - Intended for insertion into a matched internal groove. Ensure groove dimensions match the selected size from the dimensional drawing. - Inspect rings before use for deformation or damage. Replace any ring that is bent or compromised. Applications - Suitable for cylinders, cars, valves, electrical appliances, sprayers, doors and windows, bearings, machinery, and similar equipment where internal retention is required. Note - Consult picture 7 dimensional drawing for detailed size parameters and confirm fit before installation. Sizes are all measured manually; minor measurement deviations may occur.
