Value Collection 79529608 External Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 79529608 is an external snap retaining ring designed to secure components on shafts in mechanical assemblies. It fits a 1-1/2 inch nominal shaft diameter and seats in a groove measuring 1.406 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 delivers reliable axial retention across a range of industrial and mechanical applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals install these rings using standard snap ring pliers.

This external snap retaining ring is suited for use in rotating shaft assemblies, gearboxes, motors, pumps, and general mechanical equipment where axial positioning of bearings, gears, or other components is required. The 1-1/2 inch shaft size is a common dimension in both light industrial and heavy-duty mechanical systems. The phosphate finish helps resist rust in shop environments and during storage. These rings are sold in a package quantity of 10, making them practical for service shops and production lines maintaining multiple assemblies.

Installation Notes

Install and remove external snap rings using snap ring pliers rated for the ring diameter. Ensure the shaft groove is clean and free of burrs before seating the ring. De-energize and lock out any equipment before servicing shaft assemblies. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as exceeding the free diameter excessively can cause permanent deformation.
