Rotor Clip DSH-14ST Pd External Retaining Ring 14mm

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DSH-14ST PD is a metric external retaining ring designed for 14 mm shaft diameters with a 13.4 mm groove diameter. Made from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring seats into a precision-machined groove to secure components on a shaft against axial movement. The ring has a free diameter of 12.9 mm and a ring thickness of 1.0 mm. It conforms to DIN 471 standards and is appropriate for mechanical assemblies where a reliable, low-profile axial retention solution is required. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of fastener across a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.

This external retaining ring is suited for use on metric shafts in industrial machinery, pumps, motors, gearboxes, and similar mechanical assemblies. The phosphate finish provides a base level of corrosion resistance and surface protection during service. Its metric dimensioning makes it a direct fit for equipment designed to DIN 471 specifications. It is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 50 units, making it well suited for production environments or service shops that maintain hardware inventory.

Key Features

• Fits 14 mm nominal shaft diameter with a 13.4 mm groove diameter
• Spring steel construction provides consistent radial tension and retention force
• Phosphate finish for surface protection and mild corrosion resistance
• Conforms to DIN 471 standard for external retaining rings
• 1.0 mm ring thickness with a groove width of 1.1 mm
• Groove depth of 0.3 mm for precise, low-profile shaft seating

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 471-compliant external retaining ring for metric shafts with a 14 mm nominal diameter and a groove machined to 13.4 mm diameter. Verify groove width and depth tolerances against the machined shaft before installation.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings of this type are installed and removed using snap ring pliers sized for external rings. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing shafts or rotating assemblies. Confirm that the shaft groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation to avoid improper seating or ring failure under load. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as exceeding elastic limits can permanently deform the spring steel and compromise retention.
