Value Collection 75942094 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 75942094 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in a wide range of mechanical assemblies. It fits a 1-1/16 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.998 inches and installs by snapping into a machined groove on the exterior of the shaft. Constructed from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring delivers reliable retention force and basic corrosion resistance in typical industrial and mechanical service environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install this type of ring using standard snap ring pliers.

This external snap retaining ring is suited for use in shaft assemblies found in industrial machinery, drive systems, pumps, motors, and general mechanical equipment where a low-profile axial retention solution is required. The phosphate finish provides mild corrosion protection appropriate for indoor or controlled-environment applications. At a ring thickness of 0.05 inches and a free diameter of 0.982 inches, it is dimensioned for precise groove engagement without excessive preload stress on the shaft.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal require external snap ring pliers sized to this ring to avoid deforming the ring or damaging the groove. Ensure the shaft groove is clean and free of burrs before installation. Always de-energize and lock out equipment before servicing any shaft assembly containing retaining rings. Rings that have been over-expanded during removal should be replaced, not reused.
