Rotor Clip DSH-6SG External Retaining Ring 6mm 420 Ss

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DSH-6SG is a metric external retaining ring designed for 6 mm shafts, manufactured from 420 stainless steel with a phosphate and oil finish. It seats in a 5.70 mm groove diameter and holds a ring thickness of 0.70 mm, providing reliable axial retention on shafts in a compact, corrosion-resistant package. The hardness range of 63-69.5 HR30N delivers the strength needed for demanding fastening applications. Machinists, millwrights, and mechanical assembly technicians install this ring type in production and maintenance environments where a secure, removable shaft retention solution is required.

This external retaining ring is suited for use in precision mechanical assemblies where metric dimensioning is specified. Typical applications include shaft assemblies in pumps, motors, gearboxes, and other rotating or reciprocating equipment. The DIN 471 standard compliance makes it appropriate for both OEM manufacturing and field service replacement across industrial and commercial equipment. The ISO 13485:2015 standard listing also makes it relevant for medical device assembly applications where documented fastener standards are required.

Key Features

• 420 stainless steel construction with phosphate and oil finish for corrosion resistance
• Hardness rated 63-69.5 HR30N for strong axial load retention
• Meets DIN 471 and SAE 1060-1090 fastener standards
• ISO 13485:2015 listed, suitable for medical device assembly environments
• Metric dimensioning with tight groove diameter tolerance of -0.04 to +0.04 mm
• Compact ring thickness of 0.70 mm for use in space-constrained shaft assemblies

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 471-compliant external retaining ring for 6 mm metric shafts in industrial, commercial, and medical device assemblies where 420 stainless steel and phosphate and oil finish are specified.

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 shaft assemblies. Confirm groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation to avoid improper seating. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and equipment manufacturer procedures during assembly and disassembly.
