Welcome to Standard Spring Industry

“We at Accurate Springs have mastered the art of manufacturing Retaining Rings.”

Since they are produced from metal {not rubber, or other nonmetallic material} retaining rings can often withstand higher temperature and more corrosive environments and other more extreme conditions than common O-Rings or conventional rubber seals. This is the primary reason why design engineers prefer retaining rings in many applications.
Retaining rings offer higher clamping force when installing in the bore or on the shaft and are suited for higher operating speeds having 3600 [no axle gap} contact. One typical application is where a high amount of dirt and dust are present and the ring sets provide the necessary seal against contamination from outside elements.
Retaining rings are also used to protect contacting radial seals, rubber seals, o-rings and other oil seals.
The retaining ring can be manufactured from spring steel flat wires and stainless steel flat wire. Many years of experience in making retaining rings have helped accurate springs to become a reliable supplier of quality retaining rings.
