Rotor Clip CG-225ST Oil Spiral Retaining Ring 2.25 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP CG-225ST OIL is an external spiral retaining ring designed to secure components on a 2.25-inch diameter shaft. It seats into a precisely machined external groove and holds axial loads without the need for secondary fasteners. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel (UNS G10600-G10900), the ring delivers strong retention force and reliable spring-back characteristics. An oil coating is applied over the steel surface to provide corrosion inhibition during storage and handling. This ring is installed by maintenance technicians and machinists wherever a low-profile, single-turn external retaining solution is required in mechanical assemblies.

This ring is suited for use in rotating shaft assemblies across industrial, mechanical, and trade applications including pump shafts, motor shafts, gearbox components, and similar equipment requiring positive axial retention. It is appropriate for use in both light-duty and moderate-load scenarios where a spiral-wound ring profile is specified. The minimum order quantity is 5 units, packaged individually.

Key Features

• External spiral ring design seats in groove on 2.25-inch shaft without tools in many applications
• SAE 1060-1090 steel construction provides consistent spring temper and retention strength
• Oil finish coating inhibits rust during storage and transit
• Groove width of 0.086 inches and groove depth of 0.065 inches for precise fitment
• Ring thickness of 0.078 inches with tight tolerance of plus or minus 0.003 inches
• Meets ISO 13485:2015 quality management standards

Compatibility

Designed for external groove installations on shafts with a 2.25-inch diameter and a groove diameter of 2.12 inches. Groove diameter tolerance is -0.006 to +0.006 inches. Groove width tolerance is 0.000 to 0.005 inches. Confirm groove dimensions against engineering drawings before installation.

Installation Notes

External spiral retaining rings are typically installed by hand or with spiral ring pliers; standard retaining ring pliers used for stamped rings are not appropriate for this ring type. Power down and de-energize any associated equipment fully before servicing the shaft assembly. Inspect the groove for burrs, surface damage, or out-of-tolerance dimensions prior to seating the ring. Verify axial load requirements against the ring's rated capacity before finalizing installation.
