Value Collection 80122187 Internal Snap Retaining Ring 50pk

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122187 is a spring steel internal snap retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing or assembly. With a 1/4 inch nominal bore diameter and a free outer diameter of 0.28 inches, this ring seats into a machined internal groove to prevent axial movement of shafts, pins, or other retained parts. Ring thickness is 0.015 inches. The phosphate finish provides baseline corrosion resistance for general industrial and mechanical service. This part is used by millwrights, maintenance technicians, and assembly professionals working on precision mechanical assemblies where compact retention hardware is required.

Internal snap retaining rings of this size are common in light-duty mechanical assemblies including small motors, gearboxes, pumps, valves, and instrumentation housings. The 1/4 inch bore size suits miniature or compact component retention where space is restricted. The groove accepts a width of 0.02 inches with a depth of 0.009 inches. This package contains 50 rings, making it suitable for production assembly, maintenance stocking, or service kit use across multiple units.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings of this size require internal snap ring pliers sized for the bore diameter; using incorrect tooling risks ring deformation or improper seating. Power down and de-energize any equipment before disassembling housings or bearing bores. Verify groove dimensions match the ring specifications before installation to ensure proper retention. Follow applicable machinery safety standards and equipment manufacturer procedures when servicing assemblies containing retaining rings.
