E-Rings, C-Rings, and Poodle rings are all installed from the side of a shaft with no lug holes or special tools required, but the right style depends on your load, RPM, and end-play needs:

- E-Ring: Three-pronged design for compact assemblies with limited axial access.
- C-Clip: Crescent-shaped design for low-clearance, radially assembled applications.
- Poodle Ring: Wide-ear design for efficient manual or automated installation.

Need a ring built for higher thrust, higher RPM, or endplay compensation? Rotor Clip also offers reinforced, locking, and interlocking radial ring designs. Learn more: https://hubs.ly/Q04snBKc0
