Rotor Clip SH-162SS B100 External Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-162SS B100 is an external retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in demanding mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from 15-7 Grade 632 beryllium copper stainless steel to AMS-5529 and UNS S15700 standards, it delivers high hardness in the 47 to 52 HRC range with a zinc finish for added corrosion resistance. The ring seats in a shaft groove measuring 1.529 inches in diameter and fits a 1-5/8 inch (1.625 inch) shaft diameter. Licensed mechanics, millwrights, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of ring in precision shaft assemblies where reliable axial retention is required.

This external retaining ring is suited for use in industrial machinery, rotating equipment, and precision mechanical assemblies where a 1-5/8 inch shaft diameter is present. The 15-7 stainless steel construction makes it appropriate for environments requiring elevated hardness and moderate corrosion resistance. It is packaged individually with a minimum order quantity of 2 units and conforms to ISO 13485:2015 quality system standards, making it applicable in regulated manufacturing environments as well as general industrial applications.

• Conforms to ISO 13485:2015 quality standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style external retaining ring for mechanical shaft assemblies with a 1-5/8 inch (1.625 inch) shaft diameter and a groove width of 0.068 inches.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings of this type are installed by qualified mechanics or maintenance technicians using appropriate retaining ring pliers sized for the ring and shaft. De-energize and lock out all rotating equipment before installation or removal. Verify groove dimensions against the ring specifications before seating to avoid ring distortion or improper retention. Do not over-spread the ring during installation, as permanent deformation will compromise axial load capacity.
