Rotor Clip TX-100ST Pa Retaining Ring 1 in Shaft

Product Description

The ROTOR CLIP TX-100ST PA is an external self-locking retaining ring designed for 1-inch diameter shafts. It seats directly on the shaft without requiring a machined groove, using 18 prongs to grip the shaft surface and resist axial displacement under load. The ring is manufactured from SAE 1060-1090 steel (UNS G10600-G10900) and finished with a phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. At 0.015 inches thick with a free outside diameter of 1.327 inches, it delivers a rated thrust load capacity of 142 pounds. Hardness is rated at 84-86 HR15N. Licensed HVAC technicians, mechanical assemblers, and maintenance professionals across industrial and trade applications install this style of retaining ring.

This retaining ring is suited for use on 1-inch shafts in rotating assemblies, motor shafts, and mechanical drive components where a grooveless retention solution is required. It accommodates shaft diameters from 0.995 inches minimum to 1.005 inches maximum, making it appropriate for standard inch-series shafts. Applications span HVAC blower motor assemblies, pump shafts, gearbox components, and general mechanical assemblies in both residential and commercial equipment.

Installation Notes

External self-locking retaining rings are typically installed and removed by qualified mechanical technicians using retaining ring pliers rated for the ring size. Ensure the shaft is powered down and de-energized before servicing any rotating assembly. Inspect the shaft surface for burrs or damage that could prevent proper prong seating. Do not reuse a ring that has been deformed or shows prong damage after removal.
