Value Collection 75942029 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 75942029 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components onto shafts in a wide range of mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance, this ring fits a 3/4 inch nominal shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.704 inches. The ring seats into a precision groove and provides reliable axial retention without the need for threading, pinning, or welding. It is used by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals across industrial and trade applications.

This retaining ring is suited for shaft assemblies in pumps, motors, gearboxes, and similar rotating or stationary equipment where compact, reliable component retention is required. The phosphate surface treatment provides a base layer of corrosion protection and improves lubrication retention in service environments. With a free diameter of 0.693 inches and a groove width of 0.046 inches, this ring is dimensioned for standard external groove applications on 3/4 inch shafts.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of snap retaining rings requires snap ring pliers rated for external rings. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any shaft assembly. Inspect the shaft groove for damage or debris before seating the ring to ensure full engagement. Do not over-spread the ring during installation, as spring steel can fracture if deformed beyond its design range.
