Made from spring steel with a phosphate finish, it provides reliable axial retention in mechanical assemblies across a range of industrial and trade applications. The ring fits a 3\/8 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.352 inches and a ring thickness of 0.025 inches. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers use this type of ring when rebuilding pumps, motors, gearboxes, and similar rotating equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis external snap ring is suited for use in light-to-medium duty mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, shaft-mounted retainer is required. It is appropriate for both original equipment assembly and field repair work. The phosphate finish offers a degree of corrosion resistance and lubricity, making it suitable for indoor mechanical environments and moderate-duty service conditions. Sold in packages of 50, it is practical for shops and service fleets that work through retaining rings regularly during equipment overhaul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFits 3\/8 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.352 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction provides consistent retention force and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish for corrosion resistance and reduced friction during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRing thickness of 0.025 inches with a tolerance of -0.002 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGroove width of 0.029 inches with a tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 50 units per order\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style external snap retaining ring for 3\/8 inch shafts requiring a 0.352 inch groove diameter, suitable for use in standard inch-measurement mechanical assemblies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal snap rings of this type are installed and removed by licensed mechanics or qualified assemblers using snap ring pliers sized for external rings. Always relieve load from the shaft assembly and de-energize any connected equipment before servicing. Inspect the groove for burrs or damage before seating the ring to ensure full engagement. Do not over-expand the ring during installation, as spring steel can fatigue or crack if stressed beyond its design range.\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: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.352 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.338 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: 79529681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51700258406706,"sku":"79529681","price":22.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/734835d932c526bc92179dec5fc77d21.jpg?v=1788388208","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-79529681-external-snap-retaining-ring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
