Rotor Clip HO-56SS Internal Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP HO-56SS is a stainless steel internal snap retaining ring designed for axial retention of components within a bored housing. Manufactured from 15-7 Grade 632 stainless steel, this ring delivers corrosion resistance and high spring tension in a compact profile. It seats in a machined internal groove and holds shafts, bearings, or other assemblies in position without threaded fasteners. The ring measures 0.035 inches thick with a free outer diameter of 0.62 inches and is sized for a 9/16 inch bore diameter. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of ring in precision mechanical assemblies.

This internal retaining ring fits applications requiring a 9/16 inch bore groove, including rotating shaft assemblies, gearboxes, pump housings, and similar mechanical equipment found in both industrial and commercial environments. The stainless steel construction makes it well suited for wet or corrosive service environments where carbon steel rings would be inadequate. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 pieces.

Key Features

• Thrust load capacity of 2,253 pounds at ring safety factor and 710 pounds at groove safety factor
• Groove width of 0.039 inches with tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches for precise fitment
• Ring thickness of 0.035 inches with tolerance of -0.002 to 0.002 inches
• Meets AMS-5529, UNS S15700, and ISO 13485:2016 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal snap retaining ring for machined bores requiring a 9/16 inch groove diameter. Verify bore groove dimensions against the stated groove width and depth tolerances before installation.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings require snap ring pliers with the correct tip size for internal-style rings. Power down and de-energize any equipment before disassembling housings or accessing internal retaining ring grooves. Confirm groove dimensions and ring seating fully around the groove circumference after installation. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as excessive deflection can permanently deform the ring and reduce load capacity.
