The bowed profile exerts axial force against the retained component, compensating for stack-up tolerances and reducing end play without the need for additional spring elements. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel and finished with a phosphate coating for corrosion resistance, this ring is hardened to 47-52 HRC. The three-prong design allows installation and removal with standard retaining ring pliers. It is used in mechanical assemblies across HVAC equipment, pump drives, motors, and related rotating equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis retaining ring is suited for light-duty to medium-duty shaft retention applications in both residential and commercial equipment. Typical installations include electric motor shafts, fan assemblies, pump impeller shafts, and small gearbox assemblies where controlled axial preload is required. The 0.396-inch groove diameter and 0.073-inch groove width define its fitment. Mechanical assemblers, equipment repair technicians, and OEM production lines are the primary users. The minimum order quantity is 100 pieces per purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBowed profile provides axial preload to reduce end play in shaft assemblies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE 1060-1090 steel construction with 47-52 HRC hardness for durability under load\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish improves corrosion resistance and lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThree-prong design compatible with standard external retaining ring pliers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGroove diameter tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches allows precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets SAE 1060-1090 and UNS G10600-G10900 material standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style external retaining ring for 1\/2-inch diameter shafts with a 0.396-inch groove diameter and 0.073-inch groove width.

De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any shaft assembly containing this ring. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs or wear that could affect ring seating or retention force. Do not reuse a ring that has been overstressed, visibly deformed, or removed multiple times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Bowed E Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.396 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.073 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Depth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.052 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.392 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.004 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.800 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.042 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.002 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Prongs\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090 Steel (UNS G10600-G10900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 47-52 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, ISO 13485:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Order Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 100 pieces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ROTOR CLIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: BE-50ST PA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ROTOR CLIP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51702367945010,"sku":"BE-50ST PA","price":2395.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/ce4642d7831c2d970186b020fb4cd529_1c8e42c2-fdc6-4ea6-8108-0c7e7d891e57.jpg?v=1788410477","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rotor-clip-be-50st-pa-bowed-e-retaining-ring-1-2-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
