This is part 3 of a 6 part Rotor Clip newsletter series about which retaining rings work best with different applications. Click Part 1 or Part 2 if you would like to catch up. In this month’s news letter, explanations of Standard vs Heavy Duty rings are discussed as well as the efficient C and E rings Rotor Clip offers. |

Part 3 of 6 : Standard vs. Heavy Duty | ||

Figure 4 | ||
In cases of very heavy loads, the reinforced ring, shown at the right half of Figure 4, will out-perform the basic ring, shown on the left half of Figure 4 because of its greater section height, lug shape and thickness. These rings may also remedy instances of fatigue failure. | ||

Figure 5 | ||
Radially installed rings also differ. The Crescent (“C”) ring at the left in Figure 5 is preferred where space is at a premium and loads are not very heavy. (They are also more tamper resistant). The E-ring in the middle is ideal for large shoulders, whereas the reinforced E-ring at the right functions best for applications characterized by high vibration, RPM and cyclic loads. |
