The Rotor Clip CG-50SJ 0.500" External Heavy Duty Spiral Retaining Ring is engineered to provide secure axial retention in applications with high thrust loads. Manufactured from stainless steel AISI 302, this retaining ring offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for environments where durability is paramount. Designed for external assembly on shafts, it ensures uniform contact when installed in a groove, effectively holding components in place. The ring's 2-turn design delivers 360° groove contact, optimizing load distribution and enhancing the overall stability of the assembly. With a free diameter ranging from 0.451" to 0.464" and a thickness between 0.033" and 0.037", the CG-50SJ is tailored for shafts with diameters of 0.500". Its robust construction allows it to accommodate thrust loads up to 2,530 lbs, providing a safety factor of 3. This capacity ensures reliable performance under demanding operational conditions. The ring is designed to operate effectively at rotational speeds up to 20,600 RPM, maintaining its structural integrity and functionality in high-speed applications. Available with an oil over steel finish, it offers basic corrosion protection, extending the ring's service life and reducing maintenance requirements. The Rotor Clip CG-50SJ is an ideal solution for industries requiring dependable axial retention in high-thrust, high-speed environments, such as automotive, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment sectors.
