About this retaining ring

This is a retaining ring in 304 Stainless Steel, at strength class A2-70, supplied plain, with an M5 thread and a 550 mm length. Every dimension is stated against the standard named above; where a tolerance class matters to your design, ask us and we will confirm it in writing before you order.

A retaining ring locates a component axially on a shaft or inside a bore, seating in a machined groove so the part cannot walk out of position. Used on shafts, bearings, pins and gear assemblies where an axial stop is needed but a shoulder or collar is not possible.

304 (EN 1.4301, A2) is the general-purpose austenitic stainless grade: good resistance to fresh water, food acids and atmospheric corrosion, non-magnetic in the annealed state. It is the default for indoor and general outdoor fastening where chlorides are low.

A2-70 is 304 stainless, cold worked to a 700 MPa minimum tensile and 450 MPa 0.2% proof stress. It is the default stainless grade for general purpose bolts and screws.

Is this not quite the size or grade you need? Ask us — we produce small batches to drawing and to DIN, ISO, GB and JIS standards, and we consolidate pallet and container loads for trade orders.
