Rotor Clip SH-100ST Mcd External Retaining Ring 1 in Shaft

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-100ST MCD is an external retaining ring designed to seat in a machined groove on a 1-inch shaft and retain components against axial movement. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 spring steel with a cadmium-plated finish, this ring delivers a hardness rating of 47-53 HRC for reliable holding force in demanding applications. The ring carries a 0.94-inch groove diameter and a 0.042-inch ring thickness, dimensions that must be matched precisely to the groove geometry before installation. It conforms to Military Specification MS 16624-1100 and meets SAE 1060-1090 and ISO 13485:2015 standards.

This external retaining ring is suited for industrial machinery, power transmission assemblies, motors, gearboxes, and similar mechanical systems where shaft components require positive axial retention. The cadmium finish provides corrosion resistance in moderately harsh service environments. Typical installers include millwrights, maintenance mechanics, and mechanical assembly technicians working with rotating or sliding shaft assemblies across both light and heavy industrial applications.

Compatibility

Designed for installation on shafts with a 1-inch nominal diameter and a machined external groove matching the specified groove diameter, width, and depth tolerances per MS 16624-1100.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings require proper snap ring pliers sized for the ring diameter — do not use substitutes that can distort the ring or cause it to slip during installation. Verify groove dimensions against the ring specifications before assembly; an undersized or oversized groove will compromise retention force. Depressurize, de-energize, and lock out the equipment before servicing any shaft assembly. Wear appropriate eye protection during installation, as the ring stores spring energy and can become a projectile if mishandled.
