The Rotor Clip KG-50ST OIL 0.5" Internal Spiral Retaining Ring is engineered to provide secure retention in shaft grooves, effectively holding assemblies in place within mechanical systems. Designed for internal applications, this retaining ring is particularly suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is essential. The oil-coated finish enhances its durability, making it ideal for use in various industrial sectors, including automotive and heavy-duty machinery. The ring's design ensures uniform contact when installed, accommodating higher thrust loadings and providing a reliable shoulder for component retention. This feature is particularly beneficial in applications where consistent performance under load is critical. The KG-50ST OIL retaining ring is manufactured from carbon steel (SAE 1060-1090), offering a balance between strength and flexibility. Its dimensions include a 0.5-inch bore diameter, a free diameter of 0.538 inches, a groove width of 0.039 inches, and a groove depth of 0.015 inches. The ring's thickness is 0.035 inches, and it has a thrust load capacity of 2,530 lbs. (Ring Safety Factor) and 530 lbs. (Groove Safety Factor). These specifications ensure that the retaining ring can withstand substantial loads, contributing to the overall stability and reliability of the assembly. By incorporating the Rotor Clip KG-50ST OIL 0.5" Internal Spiral Retaining Ring into your mechanical designs, you can enhance the structural integrity and longevity of your equipment. Its robust construction and corrosion-resistant properties make it a valuable component in maintaining operational efficiency and reducing maintenance requirements over time.
