Value Collection 75942128 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 75942128 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in mechanical assemblies. It fits a 1-1/4 inch shaft diameter and seats into a groove measuring 1.176 inches in diameter and 0.056 inches wide. The ring is stamped from spring steel and finished with a phosphate coating for corrosion resistance. At 0.05 inches thick, it provides reliable axial retention without requiring threaded fasteners or additional hardware. This type of retaining ring is a standard fastening component used across industrial, MRO, and trade applications wherever shaft retention is needed.

This external retaining ring is suited for use in rotating and stationary shaft assemblies found in motors, gearboxes, pumps, and general mechanical equipment. The phosphate finish makes it appropriate for light-duty corrosion environments and also improves lubrication retention. It is commonly installed during equipment assembly or repair by maintenance technicians and mechanical contractors working on both residential and commercial mechanical systems. Sold in a package quantity of 10 units.

Installation Notes

External snap retaining rings require snap ring pliers sized for external ring installation. De-energize and lock out any equipment before disassembling shaft assemblies. Inspect the shaft groove for burrs or wear before seating the ring, as groove damage can affect retention integrity. Confirm the groove width and shaft diameter match the ring specifications before installation.
