The Rotor Clip 1" Stainless Steel External SH Retaining Ring is engineered to securely hold assemblies in place on shafts, effectively preventing axial movement. Designed for external installation, this retaining ring is axially assembled onto a shaft, with the portion protruding from the groove (the "shoulder") providing a stable hold for components. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel (PH15-7, PH17-7), it offers enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for applications exposed to moisture or corrosive environments. The SH-100SS features lug holes that facilitate easy installation and removal, streamlining maintenance processes. Its uniform contact when released in a groove ensures consistent performance, and its ability to accommodate higher thrust loadings makes it ideal for demanding applications. Compared to constant section or spiral retaining rings, the SH-100SS provides a more substantial shoulder, offering superior retention capabilities. With a shaft diameter of 1.000 inches, a thickness of 0.042 inches, and a lug height of 0.167 inches, it is designed to fit standard shaft sizes. The ring can withstand thrust loads up to 5,024 lbf, with a load capacity of 1,340 lbf at 100,000 cycles, and operates effectively at rotational speeds up to 20,000 rpm. The SH-100SS is a reliable solution for industries requiring secure and durable shaft retention, such as automotive, industrial machinery, and heavy equipment sectors.
