Installation

Self-locking and push-on retaining rings are easy to install, most simply needing to be pushed onto the component until fully seated. Since a groove is not needed for installation, self-locking rings and push-on rings can save machining time and overall cost. Most rings in this category cannot easily be removed once installed, giving peace of mind along with a secure assembly.
