Value Collection P20083 Split Ring 1.396 in Id Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20083 is a split ring fastener manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish. Split rings are open-profile retaining rings that use their inherent spring tension to grip shafts, pins, or bores, securing components against axial movement without the need for additional hardware. This ring measures 1.396 inches inner diameter, 1.64 inches outer diameter, and 0.168 inches thick. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for general indoor and light industrial environments. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and assembly line workers are the primary installers of this fastener type.

This split ring is suited for general mechanical assembly applications where a compact, spring-tension retaining solution is required. Typical use cases include shaft retention in motors, pumps, gearboxes, and light industrial equipment. The Grade 2 spring steel construction delivers consistent radial spring force across repeated installations. This ring ships individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 100 pieces, making it appropriate for production runs, service stock, or MRO supply operations.

Key Features

• Grade 2 spring steel construction for reliable radial spring tension
• Zinc-plated finish for baseline corrosion resistance in light-duty environments
• 1.396 inches inner diameter for precise shaft or bore fit
• 0.168 inches thickness for low-profile axial footprint
• Split-ring design allows tool-free hand installation in many applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension split ring for general mechanical assembly and shaft retention applications where a 1.396 inches ID retaining ring is specified.

Installation Notes

Split rings are typically installed by maintenance technicians and machinists using snap ring pliers or a flat-blade tool appropriate for the ring gauge. Always de-energize and lockout any machinery before replacing or installing retaining rings on rotating shafts. Inspect the groove or shaft seat for wear or burring before installation to ensure full seating of the ring. Do not over-stress the ring during spreading, as exceeding the elastic limit of the spring steel will result in permanent deformation and loss of retention force.
