Rotor Clip TI-44ST Pa Internal Retaining Ring 7/16 in

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP TI-44ST PA is a self-locking internal retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing without requiring a groove in the bore wall. Manufactured from 1060/1090 grade steel with a phosphate finish, this ring provides reliable axial retention in assemblies where standard grooved-ring designs are not practical. It carries a thrust load capacity of 41 pounds and measures 0.01 inches in ring thickness, making it suitable for compact, precision assemblies. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers install this type of ring using standard retaining ring pliers in production and MRO applications.

This internal self-locking retaining ring is used in residential and commercial mechanical assemblies where a 7/16-inch bore diameter is present. It is well suited for light-duty shaft and housing retention in motors, pumps, gearboxes, and similar rotating or reciprocating equipment. The self-locking design eliminates the need for a machined groove, which simplifies housing design and reduces machining costs. This ring is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it appropriate for production runs and maintenance stock.

Key Features

• Self-locking design retains components in a bored housing without a machined groove
• Steel construction with 1060/1090 material grade for consistent mechanical properties
• Phosphate finish provides corrosion resistance and lubricity during installation
• Thrust load capacity of 41 pounds for reliable axial retention
• Rockwell 15N hardness of 84-86 for wear resistance under load
• Ring thickness of 0.01 inches with a tolerance of -0.001 to 0.001 inches for precise fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or production component for mechanical assemblies requiring internal self-locking retaining rings with a 7/16-inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or mechanical technician using retaining ring pliers sized for internal rings. De-energize and lock out all equipment before servicing any assembly containing retaining rings. Verify bore diameter and ring seating position before applying axial load. Do not reuse a ring that has been removed, as self-locking retention characteristics may be compromised after removal.
