Rotor Clip DSH-16SG External Retaining Ring 16mm 420 Ss

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DSH-16SG is a metric external retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in industrial and mechanical assemblies. It fits a 16 mm shaft diameter and seats into a groove with a 15.2 mm groove diameter. Manufactured from 420-grade stainless steel with a phosphate and oil finish, this ring delivers corrosion resistance and hardness in the 63 to 69.5 HR30N range. It conforms to DIN 471 and SAE 1060-1090 fastener standards. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of ring where a reliable, low-profile shaft retention solution is required in moderate to high-load environments.

This external retaining ring is suited for use in rotating shaft assemblies, gear drives, pump shafts, conveyor systems, and general industrial machinery where metric-dimensioned components are specified. The DIN 471 standard makes it directly compatible with European and metric-dimensioned shaft and groove profiles. Its 1.00 mm ring thickness and 1.10 mm groove width are consistent with standard metric retention hardware requirements. Sold in packages of 5 with a minimum order quantity of 1 package.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction with phosphate and oil finish for corrosion resistance
• Hardness rated 63 to 69.5 HR30N for reliable retention under load
• Conforms to DIN 471 and SAE 1060-1090 fastener standards
• ISO 13485:2015 manufacturing standard compliance noted in specifications
• 1.00 mm ring thickness with a tight tolerance of -0.0600 mm for precise fit
• Free diameter of 14.70 mm allows controlled installation without over-stressing the ring

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 471-compliant external retaining ring for 16 mm metric shafts with a 15.2 mm groove diameter; suitable for use in any assembly specifying DIN 471 or SAE 1060-1090 retention hardware at this nominal size.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings of this type are installed by qualified mechanical technicians using snap ring pliers sized for external rings. The shaft and groove must be free of debris and burrs before installation. Always de-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing shaft assemblies. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as permanent deformation will compromise retention force.
