Value Collection 80122468 Internal Snap Retaining Ring

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 80122468 is an internal snap retaining ring designed to secure components within a bored housing or shaft assembly. Manufactured from spring steel with a phosphate finish, this ring provides reliable axial retention in moderate-load applications. It fits a 0.5 inch bore diameter with a 0.039 inch groove width and 0.015 inch groove depth. Ring thickness measures 0.035 inches. The phosphate coating offers basic corrosion resistance and lubricity during installation. This type of ring is commonly installed by machinists, maintenance technicians, and mechanical assemblers working on motors, gearboxes, pumps, and similar rotating or sliding shaft assemblies.

Internal snap retaining rings of this size are used in residential and light commercial mechanical assemblies where a low-profile, removable axial stop is needed inside a bored housing. Typical applications include small electric motors, pump housings, gear assemblies, and bearing retention in HVAC equipment, plumbing hardware, and general industrial machinery. This ring is sold in a package quantity of 25, making it practical for service shops and assembly operations that replace or stock these rings in volume.

Installation Notes

Internal snap rings require internal snap ring pliers for proper installation and removal. Power down and de-energize any equipment before servicing assemblies containing retaining rings. Verify groove dimensions match ring specifications before installation to avoid improper seating or ring ejection under load. Do not reuse a ring that has been overstressed or deformed during removal.
