Description

VHO retaining rings are axially assembled internal beveled retaining rings and are part of Rotor Clip’s tapered section retaining ring family. Similar in appearance to standard HO rings, VHO rings feature a 15° beveled outer edge that wedges between the groove and the retained part when installed in a complementary angled groove, eliminating endplay and providing internal axial retention.
