Tapered Section Retaining Rings With Removal Lugs
Tapered Section Retaining Rings are the most common type of retaining ring in use today. They
are manufactured by stamping rolled steel into the finished shape, or by coiling rectangular section
wire and then cutting out the taper and lug holes. The tapered section gives these rings the flexibility
to be installed using a retaining ring plier. Also, the heavy cross section of these retaining rings
allow them to have high thrust load capacities.
