Rotor Clip DE-8SG E Style Retaining Ring 420 Ss Pack of 5

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DE-8SG is an external E style retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in industrial and mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 420 grade stainless steel with a phosphate and oil finish, it provides corrosion resistance and reliable retention under load. The ring fits an 8 mm groove diameter on a 10.5 mm shaft diameter and features a 0.99 mm ring thickness and a 1.04 mm groove width. With three prongs for positive engagement, this ring is well suited for applications where a compact, lightweight fastener is required. Licensed trades and industrial maintenance technicians install these rings in a wide range of rotating and stationary shaft assemblies.

The DE-8SG is used in residential and commercial mechanical equipment, rotating machinery, motors, pumps, and other assemblies that require a secure external shaft retention method. Its metric dimensions conform to DIN 6799 and SAE 1060-1090 standards, making it compatible with metric-dimensioned shafts and grooves in HVAC equipment, plumbing system components, and general industrial machinery. The pack of 5 units suits both repair and new installation needs. This ring is appropriate for any application where space constraints limit the use of larger retaining hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of E style retaining rings should be performed by a qualified technician using appropriate retaining ring pliers to avoid deforming the ring or damaging the shaft groove. Always de-energize and lock out the equipment before servicing any rotating assembly. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs or damage before installation, as groove damage can compromise ring retention and lead to component failure. Do not reuse a ring that has been removed or shows signs of distortion.
