Rotor Clip E-6ST Pa B100 E Style Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP E-6ST PA B100 is an external E style retaining ring designed for 1/16 inch shaft diameter applications. The ring seats in a precision groove and provides axial retention of components on shafts and spindles. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel with a phosphate finish, it delivers reliable corrosion resistance in light-duty mechanical assemblies. Ring thickness is 0.010 inches, groove diameter is 0.052 inches, and free outside diameter is 0.156 inches. A 3-prong design holds the ring in place during assembly. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install these rings across a wide range of industrial and OEM applications.

The E-6ST PA B100 is suited for small-shaft assemblies where a compact, external groove retaining solution is required. Typical applications include precision instruments, small motors, gearboxes, pumps, and light-duty industrial equipment. The E style geometry allows installation without special tools on shafts at the 1/16 inch diameter range. This ring is commonly specified in production runs and repair scenarios where a minimum order of 100 pieces per package is standard.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by mechanical assemblers or maintenance technicians. Verify shaft and groove dimensions match ring specifications before installation. Use appropriate retaining ring pliers sized for E style rings to avoid distorting the prongs or over-stressing the ring. Inspect the groove for burrs or debris before seating the ring to ensure full, flush engagement.
