Finishing Operations
Rotor Clip’s standard and specialty finishing operations will safeguard your investment.
Rotor Clip makes sure your metal products will perform in their intended environments. Our carbon steel retaining rings come standard with a phosphate coating, and carbon steel spiral rings receive an oil dip to protect against rust. Because some applications can present long-term exposure to corrosive conditions, Rotor Clip coating and plating options can resist salt spray for up to 72, 96 or 240 hours depending on the coat selected and operating conditions.
Exceptional finishing options that elevate the performance and longevity of your assemblies.
Rotor Clip offers a wide range of exceptional finishing options for our retaining rings, wave springs and hose clamps, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality and performance. From various plating and coating options to achieve enhanced corrosion resistance, such as zinc, phosphate, and passivation, to specialized treatments like black oxide and oil coating for improved lubrication, we provide the flexibility to tailor the finish to your specific application needs. Our meticulous attention to detail in the finishing process ensures that our parts not only deliver reliable functionality but also exhibit superior durability in challenging environments.
Capabilities
- Specially built heat-treatment furnaces and quench tanks transform parts to their desired hardness.
- In-house heat treatment and tight controls produce parts to an optimal hardness.
