Rotor Clip SH-150ST Mcd External Retaining Ring 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-150ST MCD is an external retaining ring designed to secure components on a 1-1/2 inch diameter shaft. Manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 spring steel with a cadmium finish, it provides corrosion resistance and reliable axial retention in demanding mechanical assemblies. The ring seats into a groove with a 1.406 inch groove diameter and has a ring thickness of 0.05 inches. Hardness is rated at 47-52 HRC, giving it durability under cyclic loading. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and industrial mechanics commonly install these rings during shaft assembly or component replacement.

This retaining ring is suited for use in industrial machinery, power transmission equipment, pumps, motors, and similar rotating assemblies where external shaft retention is required. It fits shafts with a nominal diameter of 1-1/2 inches. The cadmium plating makes it appropriate for environments with moderate corrosion exposure. This ring meets military specification MS 16624-1150 and conforms to SAE 1060-1090 and UNS G10600-G10900 standards, making it a direct fit for applications requiring those compliance levels.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external retaining ring for 1-1/2 inch shafts conforming to SAE 1060-1090 and MS 16624-1150 specifications. Compatible assemblies must have a groove diameter of 1.406 inches, groove width of 0.056 inches, and groove depth of 0.047 inches.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings of this type are installed and removed using snap ring pliers sized for external rings. Always power down and de-energize any equipment before disassembling shaft assemblies. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs or wear before seating the ring, as groove damage will compromise retention. Follow applicable ANSI and OEM assembly specifications for proper ring installation sequence.
