Thomson Industries C250 External Retaining Ring 0.25 in Steel

Product Description

The THOMSON INDUSTRIES C250 is a steel external retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts and housings in linear motion systems. With a ring thickness of 0.035 inches and an inside diameter of 0.469 inches, this ring provides reliable axial retention in demanding mechanical assemblies. It mounts externally and is machined for consistent fit and holding force. Licensed technicians and mechanical assemblers working on linear bearing systems install this ring as part of routine maintenance or assembly operations.

The C250 is specified for use with the Thomson SUPER-4 linear bearing system. It fits applications where precise axial positioning of shaft-mounted components is required. Typical install scenarios include linear actuator rebuilds, slide assembly maintenance, and motion control system overhauls in both industrial and light commercial environments. The external mount style makes it accessible for installation and removal during field service.
