Retaining Rings, External, DIN 471

A Retaining ring is a fastener that holds components or assemblies onto a shaft or in a housing/bore when installed in a groove. Once installed, the exposed portion acts as a shoulder which retains the specific component or assembly.
Retaining Rings are typically made from carbon steel, stainless steel or beryllium copper and may feature a variety of finishes for corrosion protection depending on the type of environment in which they are used.
There are three main types of Retaining Rings available: Tapered section, Constant section, and Spiral.
