Safety lock even at high speeds! Retaining ring (stop ring with locking mechanism)

The locking mechanism prevents the ring from expanding even under centrifugal force during high-speed rotation! It prevents deformation and displacement caused by the snap ring. Vibration resistance is also improved.

At SMALLEY, which has a long-standing track record with retaining rings, we have developed a "self-locking mechanism" retaining ring that meets the high-speed rotation requirements of bearings for general industrial electric motors and gearboxes. The new product "Revolox" features protrusions in the slot area, which prevent the ring from expanding due to centrifugal force during high-speed rotation, ensuring that the ring functions properly. 【Key Points for Choosing This Product】 - Can be considered as an alternative for high-speed rotation that cannot be held by snap rings. - Easy installation and removal without the need for special tools. - The slot and protrusion areas have sufficient strength, preventing damage during installation and removal. - The wire diameter can be reduced compared to conventional C-type rings designed for high-speed rotation, achieving approximately 50% weight reduction. This results in improved efficiency for high-speed rotation due to reduced rotational mass. - Locking shapes are available for both manual and automated use. - Minimal runout during rotation, making it suitable for vibration reduction. If you are having trouble with existing snap rings, please contact us. We can consider design changes or welding without incurring costs or time. *For more details about the product, please refer to the brochure (English version) or contact us directly.
