Rotor Clip HO-56ST Pa Internal Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP HO-56ST PA is a heavy-duty internal snap retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing. Manufactured from 1060/1090 spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring seats into a machined internal groove to provide positive axial retention without fasteners. It is suited for high-cycle mechanical assemblies where reliable component retention and corrosion resistance are required. The ring carries a thrust load capacity of 2,253 pounds at the ring safety factor and 710 pounds at the groove safety factor, making it appropriate for moderately loaded industrial and mechanical applications. Licensed trade professionals and maintenance machinists install this type of retaining ring in production and repair environments.

This internal retaining ring is intended for use in bored housings with a 9/16-inch bore diameter. It fits a groove width of 0.039 inches with a groove depth of 0.017 inches, accommodating standard internal groove profiles machined to SAE 1060-1090 and ISO 13485:2016 specifications. Typical applications include gearboxes, pumps, motors, cylinders, and other assemblies where an internal groove is used to retain a shaft, bearing, or pin within a housing bore. This ring is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units.

Key Features

• Rockwell hardness 30N 67.5-72 for reliable retention under load cycling
• Meets SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, and ISO 13485:2016 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal retaining ring for bored housings requiring a 9/16-inch internal groove with a 0.039-inch groove width and 0.017-inch groove depth per standard machined groove profiles.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings of this type are installed by licensed machinists or mechanical maintenance technicians using internal snap ring pliers sized for the bore diameter. De-energize and lock out all equipment before disassembling any housing. Verify that the groove dimensions and surface finish meet the required tolerances before seating the ring to ensure full engagement and proper load transfer. Do not reuse a ring that has been over-expanded or shows signs of deformation.
