Rotor Clip DSH-5SG External Retaining Ring 5 Mm Shaft

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DSH-5SG is an external retaining ring engineered for shaft retention applications requiring corrosion resistance and consistent dimensional performance. Manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a phosphate and oil finish, this ring seats into a 4.8 mm groove diameter on a 5 mm shaft. Ring thickness measures 0.60 mm with a tolerance of -0.0500 mm, and groove width is 0.70 mm. The free diameter is 4.70 mm. Hardness is rated at 63 to 69.5 HR30N, providing reliable spring tension and retention force under load. Sold in packs of 5, this ring is a standard metric fastener for precision assemblies.

This retaining ring is suited for use in compact mechanical assemblies where an external snap ring is required to secure components onto a 5 mm shaft. Typical applications include motors, pumps, gearboxes, actuators, and small-diameter drive shaft assemblies found in HVAC equipment, plumbing valves, and light industrial machinery. Its stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with moisture exposure or mild chemical contact. The metric dimensioning and DIN 471 compliance make it a direct fit for European-standard and metric-designed equipment serviced by mechanical and industrial trades.

Installation Notes

Installation requires snap ring pliers sized for external retaining rings; using incorrect tooling can deform the ring or damage the groove. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any shaft assembly. Confirm groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation to ensure proper seating and retention. Rings should be inspected for deformation after installation and must not be reused once removed.
