Rotor Clip BE-62ST Pa Bowed E Retaining Ring 5/8 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP BE-62ST PA is an external bowed E style retaining ring designed to seat in a groove on a shaft and provide axial retention of assembled components. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel with a phosphate finish, this ring fits a 5/8 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.485 inches. The bowed profile generates a controlled axial load against retained parts, which helps compensate for stack-up tolerances and reduces end-play in the assembly. Hardness is rated at 47-52 HRC. Licensed HVAC, plumbing, and mechanical technicians working on rotating assemblies, motor shafts, and pump components will encounter this style of ring in OEM and field-repair contexts.

This retaining ring is suited for use on external shafts in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies including HVAC blower motors, pump shafts, small gear assemblies, and general industrial equipment. The three-prong E style design allows installation and removal with standard snap-ring pliers without requiring full shaft disassembly. The phosphate finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance and is compatible with light oil lubrication commonly used during assembly.

Key Features

• Bowed profile generates axial load to control end-play and compensate for tolerance stack-up
• Fits 5/8 inch shaft diameter with 0.485 inch groove diameter
• SAE 1060-1090 steel at 47-52 HRC hardness for reliable retention strength
• Phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and lubrication adhesion
• Three-prong E style allows tool-accessible installation without shaft removal
• Meets SAE 1060-1090 and UNS G10600-G10900 material standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external retaining ring for 5/8 inch shafts requiring a groove diameter of 0.485 inches, suitable for rotating-shaft assemblies in HVAC, pump, and general mechanical applications where a bowed E style ring is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician using snap-ring pliers sized for E style retaining rings. Disengage power and de-energize the assembly before servicing any rotating shaft components. Inspect the groove for wear, burring, or out-of-tolerance dimensions before seating the ring, as groove damage can prevent proper retention. Do not reuse a ring that has been overstressed, bent beyond its elastic range, or shows visible cracking.
