It fits a 1\/4-inch shaft diameter and seats in a groove with a 0.23-inch diameter. The ring is manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish that provides baseline corrosion resistance. At 0.025 inches thick and 0.029 inches wide at the groove, this is a precision fastener element suited to close-tolerance shaft retention applications. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working in HVAC, pump, motor, and general mechanical systems will encounter this ring frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis external snap retaining ring is appropriate for use in residential and light commercial equipment where 1\/4-inch shaft retention is required. Typical applications include small motor shafts, pump assemblies, fan blade retention, and gearbox components. The phosphate finish makes it suitable for indoor and sheltered mechanical environments. It is sold in a package quantity of 50 units, making it practical for shop stock or field service kits where multiple units may be needed across a service run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExternal snap ring design for 1\/4-inch shaft diameter retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGroove diameter of 0.23 inches with a groove width of 0.029 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction provides reliable snap retention and reusability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish for baseline corrosion protection in sheltered environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRing thickness of 0.025 inches for consistent seating in standard groove profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold in a quantity of 50 units per package\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or service stock snap ring for mechanical assemblies using a 1\/4-inch shaft with a 0.23-inch groove diameter and 0.029-inch groove width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal snap retaining rings of this type are installed and removed using snap ring pliers designed for external rings. Always power down or de-energize the equipment and relieve any mechanical load from the shaft before servicing. Eye protection is required during installation, as the ring can spring free under compression. Follow applicable equipment manufacturer guidelines and general mechanical assembly standards when specifying ring reuse after removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: External Snap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.23 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.225 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.029 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.000 to 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Thickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: -0.002 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Spring Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Phosphate\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem of Measurement\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 79529632\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51707047641394,"sku":"79529632","price":21.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/1c1946ec7d8658139033ea24065a23ee.jpg?v=1788438038","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-79529632-external-snap-retaining-ring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
