Rotor Clip SH-175ST Mcd External Retaining Ring 1-3/4 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP SH-175ST MCD is an external retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in mechanical assemblies. It is manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 spring steel with a cadmium-plated finish for corrosion resistance. The ring fits a 1-3/4 inch (44.45 mm) shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 1.65 inches and a ring thickness of 0.062 inches. Hardness is rated at 47-52 HRC, providing the strength needed for demanding fastening applications. Licensed machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of retaining ring across industrial, aerospace, and commercial equipment service work.

This external retaining ring is suited for use on shafts in rotating machinery, drive assemblies, gearboxes, pumps, and similar mechanical systems where axial retention is required. It is appropriate for both OEM assembly and field replacement in industrial and commercial maintenance environments. The cadmium finish makes it a common choice in applications where corrosion protection is a specified requirement, including military-specification contexts. It meets Military Specification MS 16624-1175 and is manufactured to SAE 1060-1090 and UNS G10600-G10900 standards.

Installation Notes

External retaining rings are typically installed by machinists or qualified mechanical technicians using appropriate snap-ring pliers rated for the ring diameter. Ensure the shaft groove is clean, free of burrs, and within specified tolerance before installation. De-energize and lock out all equipment before beginning any retaining ring service. Do not reuse a ring that has been removed, as repeated installation cycles can compromise the spring tension and retention integrity.
