Secure shafts, pins, and mechanical assemblies with this 7/16" External Retaining Ring, designed for use in compatible grooved-shaft applications.

Manufactured from durable steel with a zinc yellow finish, these retaining rings provide reliable axial retention while helping resist corrosion in commercial, industrial, maintenance, and equipment-repair applications.

Each package includes 10 retaining rings, making it convenient to keep replacement hardware on hand for service work and repairs.

Key Features

• 7/16" external retaining ring

• Designed for compatible grooved shafts

• Durable steel construction

• Zinc yellow finish

• Helps prevent components from sliding off shafts or pins

• Compact external snap-ring design

• Ideal for repair, maintenance, and replacement applications

• Suitable for commercial and industrial equipment

• Convenient 10-pack

External Retaining Ring Design

External retaining rings install into a machined groove around the outside diameter of a compatible shaft or pin.

Once installed, the ring creates a shoulder that helps retain components such as:

• Bearings

• Rollers

• Bushings

• Washers

• Pulleys

• Gears

• Linkages

• Mechanical assemblies

The ring can be removed and replaced during service when proper retaining-ring tools are used.

Zinc Yellow Finish

The zinc yellow finish provides an additional layer of corrosion protection over the steel ring.

This makes the retaining rings suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial maintenance applications where plain unfinished steel may be more susceptible to oxidation.

Common Applications

• Commercial door hardware

• Automatic door equipment

• Rolling door assemblies

• Mechanical linkages

• Industrial equipment

• Maintenance and repair

• Shafts and pins

• Rollers and bearings

• Machinery

• Material-handling equipment

Important Ordering Information

Before ordering, verify:

• Shaft diameter

• Retaining-ring groove dimensions

• External versus internal ring requirement

• Material requirements

• Required finish

The 7/16" designation should be matched to the intended shaft and groove specification, not selected solely by measuring the outside diameter of the retaining ring.
