Value Collection P20084 Split Ring Zinc-plated Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION P20084 is a split ring fastener manufactured from Grade 2 spring steel with a zinc-plated finish. Split rings provide a secure, tension-based retention method on shafts, pins, and bores, preventing axial movement of assembled components. This ring measures 1.635 inches inside diameter, 1.865 inches outside diameter, and 0.175 inches in thickness. The zinc plating provides baseline corrosion resistance for general-duty indoor and light industrial applications. Maintenance technicians, millwrights, and mechanical assemblers working on HVAC equipment, pumps, motors, and related rotating assemblies commonly use this style of retaining hardware.

Split rings in this size range are suited for light-duty shaft and bore retention tasks in residential and commercial mechanical systems. Typical applications include securing bearings, collars, and gears on shafts where disassembly and reassembly are required periodically. The spring steel construction maintains consistent tension across repeated installation and removal cycles, making this ring a practical choice for service technicians who need reliable, reusable retention hardware.

Key Features

• Grade 2 spring steel construction for consistent radial tension and durability
• Zinc-plated finish for basic corrosion resistance in general-duty environments
• 1.635 inches inside diameter fits corresponding shaft or bore sizes
• 0.175 inches thickness provides a low-profile axial footprint
• Reusable design supports repeated installation and removal without significant deformation

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose split ring retainer suitable for shafts and bores with a nominal inside diameter of 1.635 inches in standard mechanical assemblies.

Installation Notes

Split ring installation and removal should be performed using appropriate snap ring or split ring pliers to avoid distorting the ring or damaging adjacent components. Wear eye protection during installation, as spring steel rings can release stored energy if they slip from tooling. Inspect the ring for nicks, deformation, or coating damage before installation, and replace any ring that does not seat fully in its groove. Power down or de-energize any rotating equipment completely before servicing retaining hardware.
