Rotor Clip KG-162SJ Internal Spiral Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP KG-162SJ is an internal spiral retaining ring designed for a 1.625-inch bore diameter. Made from 302 stainless steel, it seats into a machined internal groove to retain components axially within a housing or bore. The ring measures 0.062 inches thick with a free outside diameter of 1.742 inches, a groove width of 0.068 inches, and a groove depth of 0.05 inches. Its spiral design allows installation and removal without specialized pliers in many applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers use this ring in rotating equipment, pumps, gearboxes, and hydraulic assemblies across industrial and trade settings.

This retaining ring is suited for applications where a standard internal groove retains a shaft, bearing, pin, or bushing inside a bore. It is commonly used in pump housings, motor end caps, hydraulic cylinders, and mechanical assemblies found in HVAC, plumbing, and industrial equipment. The 302 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments with exposure to moisture or mild corrosives where carbon steel rings would be unsuitable. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified mechanic or maintenance technician familiar with retaining ring applications. Verify groove dimensions match the specified groove width and depth before installation to ensure proper seating and load capacity. De-energize and lock out all equipment before disassembling any assembly to access the retaining ring groove. Use appropriate ring installation tools to avoid deforming the ring or damaging the groove surface.
