Self Locking Rings

Self-Locking Retaining Rings can be installed on a shaft or in a housing/bore without using a groove. They save machining time and overall costs since a groove is not needed for installation. They come in small sizes and can be used effectively and economically on small applications with very low thrust loadings. Most self-locking rings can not be easily removed once installed. External Shaft Friction Rings, External Radial Grip Rings, and Toothed "Push On" Rings are all examples of Self-Locking Rings.
