Made from SAE 1060-1090 steel with a phosphate finish, this ring installs on shafts with a nominal diameter of 3\/8 inch (0.3750 inches). The eight-prong self-locking design bites into the shaft surface to resist axial displacement under load. With a ring thickness of 0.015 inches and a free outside diameter of 0.645 inches, it fits tight tolerances in compact assemblies. Hardness is rated at 84-86 HR15N. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers use this ring in light-duty shaft retention applications across industrial and OEM equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis retaining ring is suited for external shaft applications in industrial machinery, motors, pumps, gearboxes, and similar rotating equipment where a grooveless retention solution is required. The self-locking prong design makes it a practical choice when machining a groove into the shaft is not feasible. It is used in both production assembly lines and field repair environments where compact shaft diameters in the 3\/8-inch range are common.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSelf-locking eight-prong design secures to shaft without a groove\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShaft diameter range: 0.3710 to 0.3790 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFree outside diameter of 0.645 inches with a tolerance of -0.005 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRing thickness of 0.015 inches with a tolerance of -0.002 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSAE 1060-1090 steel with phosphate finish for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThrust load capacity: 122 lbs \/ 65 lbs (dual-direction values per specification)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMeets ISO 13485:2015 standards; does not meet military specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for external grooveless shaft retention on shafts with a nominal diameter of 3\/8 inch.

Ensure the shaft surface is clean and free of burrs before installation to allow the prongs to seat evenly. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing shaft-mounted components. Do not reuse a ring that has been removed, as prong integrity may be compromised after initial installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Self-Locking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter (Nominal)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3750 inches (3\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Shaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3710 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Shaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.3790 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.6450 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutside Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0050 to 0.0050 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.0150 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.0020 to 0.0020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThrust Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 122 lbs \/ 65 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Prongs\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090 Steel (UNS G10600-G10900)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 84-86 HR15N\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: SAE 1060-1090; UNS G10600-G10900; ISO 13485:2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilitary Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: Does not meet military specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163202\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: ROTOR CLIP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: TX-37ST PA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"ROTOR CLIP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51690873422130,"sku":"TX-37ST PA","price":1494.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/c69d9cf47677202d7eb60370aa22012f.jpg?v=1788276719","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rotor-clip-tx-37st-pa-retaining-ring-3-8-in-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
