Rotor Clip E-62ST Zd External E Style Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP E-62ST ZD is an external E style retaining ring designed to secure components on a 5/8-inch (0.625-inch decimal) shaft. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 stainless steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, it provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. The ring seats in a groove measuring 0.485 inches in diameter and 0.046 inches wide, with a ring thickness of 0.042 inches and a hardness rating of 37-43 HRC. The three-prong E style design allows for fast, tool-assisted installation and removal without full disassembly of the shaft assembly. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical service professionals commonly work with this fastener type.

This retaining ring is suited for use in rotating shaft assemblies across HVAC equipment, pump drives, motor shafts, and general mechanical assemblies where a compact external retaining solution is required. The 5/8-inch shaft size is a common dimension in light industrial and trade equipment. The zinc dichromate finish makes it appropriate for applications where mild corrosion protection is needed alongside the base strength of the 1060-1090 steel grade. Minimum order quantity is 100 units; package quantity is 1.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal should be performed by qualified mechanical or maintenance technicians using appropriate snap ring pliers sized for the prong openings on this E style ring. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any shaft assembly containing retaining rings. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs or damage before seating the ring to ensure full engagement across all three prongs. Never reuse a ring that has been overstressed, bent, or shows signs of deformation.
