Rotor Clip SH-100ST Zd External Retaining Ring 1 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-100ST ZD is an external retaining ring designed for use on 1-inch diameter shafts. It seats into a machined groove and holds components securely against axial movement without additional fasteners. Made from SAE 1060-1090 carbon steel with a yellow zinc dichromate finish, it resists corrosion in typical industrial and mechanical service environments. The ring measures 0.042 inches thick and fits a groove width of 0.046 inches. With a hardness rating of 47-53 HRC, it handles the mechanical demands of rotating assemblies and precision-shaft applications. Machinists, millwrights, and maintenance technicians install this type of ring as part of bearing retention, gear assemblies, and shaft subcomponent stacks.

This external retaining ring is suited for applications requiring a low-profile, reliable axial stop on a 1-inch shaft. Common installation scenarios include electric motor shafts, pump assemblies, conveyor components, and general industrial machinery where shaft retention is required. The zinc-plated finish makes it appropriate for light-duty corrosion protection in both indoor and moderate outdoor environments. The ring conforms to SAE 1060-1090 and UNS G10600-G10900 standards, making it compatible with applications that call out those material specifications.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external retaining ring for 1-inch shaft applications requiring SAE 1060-1090 carbon steel with zinc plating. Verify groove diameter (0.94 inches), groove width (0.046 inches), and groove depth (0.03 inches) against the host assembly before installation.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings of this type are installed by machinists, millwrights, or maintenance technicians using appropriate retaining ring pliers sized for the ring gap. Always de-energize and lock out any rotating equipment before servicing shaft components. Confirm groove dimensions and tolerances match the ring specifications before installation. Do not reuse a ring that has been removed, as the spring tension may be compromised.
