The Rotor Clip HO-100ST MCD 1" Internal Retaining Ring is engineered to securely hold components within a housing or bore, effectively preventing axial movement and ensuring operational stability. Designed for applications requiring a 1-inch housing diameter, this retaining ring offers a robust solution for various industrial settings. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel (SAE 1060-1090), it features a phosphate coating that enhances corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the component. The ring's tapered section design allows for uniform contact when installed in a groove, accommodating higher thrust loadings compared to constant section or spiral retaining rings. This design also provides a more substantial shoulder to retain components or assemblies, enhancing the overall reliability of the system. The HO-100ST MCD retaining ring is axially assembled and installed into machined grooves in housings or bores, facilitating straightforward installation and removal. Lug holes are incorporated into the design, enabling the use of standard pliers for efficient handling. The ring's dimensions include a groove diameter of 1.066 inches, a groove width of 0.046 inches, and a groove depth of 0.033 inches, ensuring compatibility with standard housing specifications. With a maximum thrust load capacity of 6,039 lbs (Ring Safety Factor of 4) and 2,800 lbs (Groove Safety Factor of 2), the HO-100ST MCD is suitable for applications where substantial axial loads are present. Its design and material composition make it a reliable choice for industries such as automotive, mechanical engineering, and aerospace, where component retention is critical for operational efficiency and safety.
