Self-locking and push-on retaining rings offer a simple, cost-effective way to provide axial retention without machining a groove. Using specialized prongs, notches, or indentations, they grip directly onto a shaft or into a bore to stay securely in place. Their fast, simple installation also makes them a strong option for high-volume assembly and applications with lower thrust loads. Find the right design for your application: https://bit.ly/4hC8cES

Need more force in your application without taking up more space? The way your wave spring is designed matters. A customer’s valve application required a high minimum force while also compensating for wear. A standard multi-turn wave spring could not meet the required force and axial travel without creating excessive stress, so our engineers developed a triple interlaced wave spring instead. See how we solved the customer’s application challenge and read the full case study: https://hubs.ly/Q04wt_lq0
