Off-Highway Industry FAQs
Explore frequently asked questions from our customers in the off-highway industry.
Yes. Rotor Clip can develop custom retaining rings and wave springs for applications that require specific sizes, loads, materials, tolerances, or configurations. Capabilities also include large-diameter retaining rings and material options for high-load, corrosive, and high-temperature environments. Our engineers can work with your team to develop a part around the requirements of your application.
Rotor Clip offers carbon spring steel, stainless steels, and specialty alloys, along with a range of finishes and protective coatings. Material and finish selection depends on factors such as corrosion resistance, temperature, moisture, wear and exposure to dirt or other contaminants.
For retaining rings, consider factors such as groove design, thrust load, available space, and installation method. For wave springs, important factors include the required load, working height, available space, and operating environment. Rotor Clip engineers can review your application requirements and help identify the appropriate standard or custom part.
