Rotor Clip CG-325ST Oil External Spiral Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP CG-325ST OIL is an external spiral retaining ring engineered for 3.25-inch shaft diameters with a groove diameter of 3.076 inches. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel (UNS G10600-G10900), this ring delivers reliable axial retention in rotating assemblies and mechanical systems. The oil finish provides a baseline layer of corrosion resistance during storage and installation. With a ring thickness of 0.093 inches and a groove width of 0.103 inches, this retaining ring is suited for precision-fit applications where dimensional consistency is critical. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers working on industrial and commercial equipment install these rings as standard hardware in shaft and bearing assemblies.

This external spiral retaining ring is used in applications requiring secure axial component retention on shafts in industrial machinery, HVAC equipment, pump assemblies, and rotating mechanical systems. The spiral design allows installation without special snap-ring pliers in some configurations, though appropriate ring installation tools are always recommended for proper seating. It is appropriate for applications where the shaft groove dimensions match the specifications listed for this part.

Compatibility

Designed for use on external shafts with a 3.25-inch diameter and a groove diameter of 3.076 inches (tolerance -0.006 to +0.006 inches). Verify shaft and groove dimensions precisely before installation to confirm fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by millwrights, mechanical technicians, or assemblers familiar with retaining ring hardware. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing shaft assemblies. Use appropriate retaining ring installation tools to seat the ring fully and evenly within the shaft groove. Never force or over-stress the ring during installation, as deformation will compromise axial retention capacity.
