Rotor Clip CG-262ST Oil Spiral Retaining Ring 2-5/8 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP CG-262ST OIL is an external spiral retaining ring designed to secure components on a shaft without the need for grooved-shaft machining beyond a standard external groove. It fits a 2-5/8 inch (2.625 inches) shaft diameter and seats into a groove measuring 2.481 inches in diameter and 0.086 inches wide. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 carbon steel with an oil finish coating, this ring delivers reliable axial retention in mechanical assemblies. It is installed and removed by industrial maintenance technicians and mechanical assemblers working on shafts, gearboxes, pumps, and similar rotating equipment.

This external spiral retaining ring is suited for use in industrial and commercial mechanical assemblies where a compact, low-profile axial retainer is required on a 2-5/8 inch shaft. Typical applications include pump shafts, gear assemblies, conveyor components, and bearing retention in rotating machinery. The oil coating provides short-term corrosion resistance during storage and handling prior to installation. The minimum order quantity for this part is 5 pieces, packaged individually.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external spiral retaining ring for mechanical assemblies using a 2-5/8 inch shaft with a standard external retaining ring groove. Consult shaft and groove dimensional tolerances in the specifications below to confirm fitment before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of external spiral retaining rings should be performed by qualified mechanical technicians using appropriate retaining ring pliers rated for the ring diameter. Always de-energize and lock out rotating equipment before servicing any shaft-mounted components. Verify that shaft groove dimensions fall within the specified tolerances prior to seating the ring to prevent under-retention or ring damage. Do not pry or deform the ring during installation, as this can compromise its axial load capacity.
