Retaining rings useful in multiple components

March 9, 2017 By Paul Heney

Spirolox Retaining Rings have no ears to interfere with mating components in your assembly. Spirolox are manufactured by coiling the ring from flat wire. Because coiling produces a retaining ring with no scrap, the Smalley Retaining Ring can be economically produced in carbon steel, stainless steel, coppers, and many other alloys.

Readily available:

• No Gap—360° retaining surface
• No protruding ears to interfere with mating components (uniform cross-section)
• Can operate in an internal and external groove at the same time
• Over 6,000 standard rings in carbon and stainless steel
(¼-in. to 16-in., 6 mm to 400 mm diameters)
• No tooling costs on customs (0-.157-in. to 120-in., 4 mm to 3000 mm diameters)
• Exotic alloys available
