Value Collection 75942011 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 75942011 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish, it fits an 11/16-inch shaft diameter and seats in a groove measuring 0.646 inches in diameter and 0.046 inches wide. The ring thickness is 0.042 inches. External snap rings of this type provide reliable axial retention without threaded fasteners, making assembly and disassembly faster in production and maintenance environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers are the primary installers.

This retaining ring is suited for use in general industrial machinery, automotive assemblies, power transmission components, and HVAC or plumbing equipment where shaft-mounted parts require positive axial retention. The 11/16-inch nominal size makes it a common fit for mid-range shaft applications in both light and medium-duty equipment. It is sold in packages of 20, making it practical for bench stock or line-side replenishment in production and service environments.

Key Features

• External snap ring design provides axial retention without threading or welding
• Spring steel construction offers consistent snap force and durability under load
• Phosphate finish provides mild corrosion resistance and lubrication retention
• Groove width tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches ensures precise seating
• Ring thickness tolerance of -0.002 to 0.002 inches for repeatable fit
• Packaged in quantities of 20 for efficient bench stock management

Compatibility

Designed as a standard external snap retaining ring for 11/16-inch shafts in industrial and mechanical assemblies requiring a 0.646-inch groove diameter.

Installation Notes

External snap rings require snap ring pliers sized for external rings — do not use internal pliers, as they will not seat the ring correctly and may cause injury. Ensure the shaft groove is clean and free of burrs before installation. Power down or de-energize any equipment completely before servicing shaft-mounted assemblies. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and lockout/tagout procedures during installation.
