Manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance, this ring fits a 5\/16 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.29 inches. The ring seats into a precision groove and relies on its spring tension to hold axial position without threading or welding. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on motors, gearboxes, pumps, and similar equipment install this type of fastener as a cost-effective method of component retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis external snap ring is suited for applications requiring a compact, low-profile retaining solution on small-diameter shafts. Common use cases include electric motor shaft assemblies, small pump housings, pneumatic tool components, and general industrial machinery where positive stop retention is needed. The phosphate finish provides a base layer of corrosion protection appropriate for indoor and sheltered environments. Sold in a package quantity of 50 units, it is practical for production assembly lines and maintenance stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction provides consistent radial tension and long service life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish offers baseline corrosion protection for indoor or sheltered use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroove diameter of 0.29 inches for precise shaft fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing thickness of 0.025 inches suits compact groove profiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroove width tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches ensures controlled seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 50 supports production and stocking needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style external snap retaining ring for 5\/16 inch diameter shafts across general industrial, mechanical, and light-duty assembly applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExternal snap rings are typically installed and removed by qualified mechanical technicians using snap ring pliers rated for external-type rings. Shaft groove dimensions must match the ring specifications before installation to prevent improper seating or ring failure. Ensure the shaft and surrounding assembly are de-energized and secured before servicing. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as exceeding the elastic limit of spring steel can cause permanent deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRing Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Snap, External\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/16 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.29 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.281 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\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 79529673\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51694613102898,"sku":"79529673","price":21.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/010fece4620bc1f1b5feed794cd3c406.jpg?v=1788326276","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-79529673-snap-retaining-ring-5-16-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
