Rotor Clip HO-100SS B100 Internal Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP HO-100SS B100 is a stainless steel internal snap retaining ring designed to seat in a machined groove inside a bore and axially retain components such as bearings, pins, and shafts. Built from 15-7 Grade 632 stainless steel to AMS-5529 standards, it delivers a Rockwell 30N hardness of 63-69.5, making it well-suited for applications where corrosion resistance and high load capacity are required. The ring has a 1-inch bore diameter, a free outer diameter of 1.111 inches, and a ring thickness of 0.042 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of ring across industrial, marine, and precision equipment applications.

This internal retaining ring is used wherever a reliable internal groove-mounted fastener is needed in a 1-inch bore housing. Typical applications include pumps, gearboxes, motors, actuators, and hydraulic components operating in corrosive or demanding environments. The stainless steel construction makes it a strong choice for marine, food-processing, and chemical-exposure environments where carbon steel rings would corrode. The ring drops into a groove with a 0.046-inch width and 0.033-inch depth, providing a thrust load capacity of 2,800 pounds at the groove safety factor and 6,039 pounds at the ring safety factor.

Key Features

• 15-7 Grade 632 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh environments
• Internal snap ring style seats inside a machined bore groove for axial component retention
• Thrust load capacity of 2,800 lb (groove safety factor) and 6,039 lb (ring safety factor)
• Rockwell 30N hardness of 63-69.5 for durability under cyclic and dynamic loads
• Meets AMS-5529, UNS S15700, and ISO 13485:2016 standards
• Tight groove diameter tolerance of -0.003 to +0.003 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal retaining ring for 1-inch bore housings requiring a groove width of 0.046 inches and a groove depth of 0.033 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation requires internal snap ring pliers sized for the bore diameter. Shut down and de-energize any equipment before disassembly and ring installation. Inspect the groove for burrs, debris, or out-of-tolerance dimensions before seating the ring to prevent improper engagement. Verify the ring is fully seated in the groove before returning the assembly to service.
