Rotor Clip DSH-6ST Pd B100 External Retaining Ring 6mm

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP DSH-6ST PD B100 is an external retaining ring engineered for precise axial retention on 6 mm diameter shafts. Manufactured from 1060-1090 grade spring steel with a phosphate and oil finish, this ring seats in a 5.70 mm groove diameter and delivers hardness in the 63-69.5 HR30N range for reliable holding force under load. The ring thickness is 0.70 mm with a tight thickness tolerance of -0.050 mm, supporting accurate fitment in close-tolerance assemblies. Mechanical technicians, maintenance professionals, and precision assembly shops install this type of ring when secure shaft retention is required without threading or welding. It is sold in a minimum order quantity of 100 units per package.

This retaining ring is suited for metric shaft assemblies in light industrial, mechanical, and electromechanical equipment where a DIN 471-compliant external ring is specified. The 6 mm shaft diameter and 5.70 mm groove diameter make it appropriate for small-shaft applications including motors, actuators, pumps, and gearboxes that call out a DIN 471 standard external circlip. The phosphate and oil coating provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for indoor mechanical environments and light lubrication applications.

Key Features

• Phosphate and oil finish for corrosion resistance and lubricity
• Groove diameter of 5.70 mm with tolerance of -0.040 to +0.040 mm
• Ring thickness of 0.70 mm with -0.050 mm tolerance for precise axial control
• Meets DIN 471, SAE 1060-1090, and ISO 13485:2015 standards

Compatibility

Designed as a DIN 471-compliant external retaining ring for metric 6 mm diameter shafts requiring a groove diameter of 5.70 mm. Verify groove width of 0.80 mm and groove depth of 0.15 mm against the application shaft before installation.

Installation Notes

Install and remove external retaining rings using appropriate snap-ring pliers rated for the ring size — improper tools can distort the ring or cause it to release under load. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing shafts or bearings. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs, wear, or dimensional non-conformance prior to seating the ring. Confirm groove dimensions match the specified 0.80 mm width and 0.15 mm depth to ensure full ring engagement.
