Value Collection 75941997 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 75941997 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components onto shafts in mechanical assemblies. Machined from spring steel with a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance, this ring seats in an external groove and provides a positive stop against axial movement. It fits a 19/32-inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.559 inches and a groove width of 0.039 inches. Ring thickness measures 0.035 inches. Installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers, this ring is a standard fastening component in a wide range of industrial and OEM applications.

This external snap ring is suited for use in shaft assemblies across industrial machinery, automotive components, pumps, motors, and general mechanical equipment. The phosphate finish provides mild corrosion protection and helps retain lubricants in service. Sold in packages of 20, it is appropriate for production assembly lines, MRO inventory, and repair applications where a reliable shaft retention solution is needed.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard external snap retaining ring for 19/32-inch shafts in industrial and mechanical assemblies requiring axial component retention.

Installation Notes

Installation requires external snap ring pliers appropriate for the ring diameter. Always confirm groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation. Wear eye protection during installation, as snap rings can release suddenly under spring tension. Do not over-spread the ring during installation, as this can cause permanent deformation and reduce retention force.
