It seats in a machined groove on the outside diameter of a shaft, preventing axial movement of gears, bearings, pulleys, and similar parts. The ring is manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish for corrosion resistance and surface hardness. It fits a 1\/2 inch shaft diameter with a groove diameter of 0.468 inches and a ring thickness of 0.035 inches. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly workers install this type of ring across a wide range of industrial, HVAC, and mechanical service applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis retaining ring is suited for use in rotating shaft assemblies found in motors, pumps, blowers, and general mechanical equipment. The phosphate finish makes it appropriate for applications where mild corrosion resistance is needed without the cost of stainless hardware. It is sold in packages of 20, making it practical for bench stock or field service kits where multiple installations are anticipated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal snap-ring design seats in groove on shaft outer diameter to resist axial load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpring steel construction provides consistent snap force and fatigue resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhosphate finish adds surface corrosion resistance and lubrication retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGroove width of 0.039 inches with a tolerance of 0.000 to 0.003 inches for precise fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing thickness of 0.035 inches with a tolerance of -0.002 to 0.002 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackage quantity of 20 pieces supports bench stock and multi-unit service jobs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use on 1\/2 inch diameter shafts with a machined external groove measuring 0.468 inches in diameter and 0.039 inches in width.

Confirm the shaft groove is clean and free of burrs before seating the ring. Wear eye protection during installation, as the ring is under spring tension and can release unexpectedly. Do not reuse a ring that has been over-expanded or shows signs of deformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\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: 0.5 inches (1\/2 inch nominal)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.468 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.461 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGroove Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.039 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: 0.035 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: 20 pieces\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: 79529723\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51710569480498,"sku":"79529723","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/5829b077d66e3260f911b550a29c4b8b.jpg?v=1788468305","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-79529723-external-snap-retaining-ring","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
