Types of retaining rings

A retaining ring refers to a circular component used in mechanical equipment to secure bearings or sealing components. According to different purposes and structural forms, retaining rings can be divided into various types. The following are common types of retaining rings:

1. Spring retaining ring: Made of spring steel, it has a certain elasticity and can provide certain pressure and fixing force. It is commonly used to fix bearings or seals.

2. Locking retaining ring: It is fastened to the shaft through structures such as threads or keyways, and is commonly used to fix parts on the shaft, such as gears, couplings, etc.

3. Nut retaining ring: A nut with grooves or flanges used to secure bolts or threaded rods.

4. Sealing retaining ring: A retaining ring used to seal equipment, which has sealing performance and can prevent the leakage of liquids or gases.

5. Bearing retaining ring: The retaining ring used to fix the bearing, usually made of metal or plastic, can maintain the position and stability of the bearing.

6. Axial retaining ring: A retaining ring used to limit axial displacement, usually made of metal, which can prevent excessive displacement of axial parts during operation.

The above are several common types of retaining rings, which are suitable for different mechanical equipment and working conditions
