Rotor Clip SH-175SS Mps External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-175SS MPS is an external snap retaining ring engineered for 1-3/4 inch shaft diameters with a groove diameter of 1.65 inches. Manufactured from 15-7 Grade 632 stainless steel and passivated to AMS-5529 and UNS S15700 standards, it delivers strong corrosion resistance and high hardness in the 44 to 51 HRC range. The ring seats into a precision groove 0.068 inches wide and 0.05 inches deep, with a ring thickness of 0.062 inches. This part is installed by mechanical, maintenance, and industrial assembly technicians in applications requiring secure axial retention on rotating or stationary shafts.

This retaining ring is suited for industrial and military-grade assemblies where stainless steel construction and compliance with recognized fastener standards are required. Its passivated finish makes it appropriate for environments where corrosion resistance is a priority. The part meets Military Specification MS 16624-4175 and is compliant with ISO 13485:2015, making it a viable choice for precision mechanical assemblies in demanding service conditions. MOQ is 100 units; package quantity is 1.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of external snap retaining rings should be performed using snap ring pliers sized for the ring diameter. Always power down or de-energize any equipment before servicing components on a shaft. Inspect the groove for burrs or damage before seating the ring to ensure full engagement. Wear appropriate eye protection, as snap rings can release under spring load during installation or removal.
