Rotor Clip KG-162ST Oil Internal Spiral Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP KG-162ST OIL is a steel internal spiral retaining ring designed for use in bored housings and cylindrical assemblies where a reliable axial retention method is required. This ring seats in a machined internal groove, providing a load-bearing shoulder that prevents axial movement of shafts, bearings, or other retained components. With a 1.625-inch bore diameter, a ring thickness of 0.062 inches, and a groove width of 0.068 inches, this ring is precision-manufactured from 1060/1090 carbon steel with an oil finish for corrosion inhibition. It is typically installed by mechanical assemblers, maintenance technicians, and machine shop professionals across industrial and OEM applications.

This internal spiral retaining ring is suited for use in rotating machinery, gearboxes, pump housings, motor assemblies, and other equipment requiring internal bore retention. The oil finish makes it appropriate for applications where light corrosion protection is needed during storage and service. With a thrust load capacity of 13,290 pounds at the ring safety factor, it handles significant axial loading in demanding mechanical environments. It is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• 1.625-inch bore diameter with a free outside diameter of 1.742 inches for consistent groove seating

• Groove width of 0.068 inches and groove depth of 0.05 inches to match standard machined internal grooves
• Thrust load capacity of 13,290 pounds (ring safety factor) for heavy axial load applications
• Oil finish on 1060/1090 carbon steel provides light corrosion inhibition during storage and service
• Conforms to SAE 1060-1090, UNS G10600-G10900, and ISO 13485:2016 standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style internal spiral retaining ring for machined bores requiring a 1.625-inch inside diameter groove seat with a 0.068-inch groove width and 0.05-inch groove depth.

Installation Notes

Internal spiral retaining rings are installed and removed by mechanical technicians using appropriate spiral ring installation tools or flat-nosed pliers designed for spiral ring profiles. Always de-energize and lock out any machinery before servicing retained components. Verify that the internal groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation to avoid improper seating or ring failure under load. Inspect the groove for burrs or damage prior to ring insertion.
