Rotor Clip DE-12ST Pd B100 E Style Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DE-12ST PD B100 is an external E style retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in a wide range of mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 1060-1090 spring steel and finished with a phosphate and oil coating, this ring delivers reliable corrosion resistance and consistent spring force in service. It features a 12 mm nominal groove diameter and a ring thickness of 1.30 mm, with a hardness rating of 46-54 HRC. The three-prong E style design allows for tool-free or minimal-tool installation without requiring shaft-end access, making it a practical choice for maintenance technicians, assemblers, and field service professionals working in industrial and mechanical environments.

This retaining ring is suited for shafts ranging from 13 mm to 18 mm in diameter and is intended for external groove applications where axial retention of bearings, gears, pulleys, or similar components is required. The metric dimensioning and compliance with DIN 6799 and SAE 1060-1090 standards make it appropriate for both OEM manufacturing and aftermarket service in industrial machinery, HVAC fan assemblies, pump shafts, and other rotating equipment. Sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces per package.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of E style retaining rings is typically performed by maintenance technicians or mechanical assemblers using standard retaining ring pliers rated for E style rings. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any rotating shaft assembly. Confirm groove diameter, groove width, and shaft diameter are within the specified tolerances before seating the ring. Do not reuse a ring that has been overstressed, distorted, or shows signs of cracking.
