Threaded Locking Retaining Ring

Threaded locking retaining rings are made of stainless steel or carbon steel, which are strong and rust-resistant. The surface has undergone heat treatment to extend service life and enhance wear resistance. The threaded portion has undergone precision cutting treatment to ensure smooth tightening and thread alignment. For use in harsh environments, zinc-nickel plating or black oxide plating can be selected to add a corrosion-resistant coating to the surface.These materials can operate in a temperature range of -40°C to 300°C, so this locking ring can be used in extreme environmental conditions such as marine environments, chemical plants, or heavy machinery.

Application

Threaded locking retaining rings are widely used in power transmission systems, pump assemblies, and robot components, especially in applications where it is necessary to ensure that components are securely fixed on the shaft. With their vibration-resistant characteristics, they are commonly used in automotive transmission systems, wind turbine gearboxes, and conveyor systems. It is also used in the aerospace industry.

It also shows up in agricultural equipment and renewable energy setups, doing a solid job of keeping things fixed in dusty, wet conditions or when there’s a lot of torque involved.

Are special tools required for installation?

No special tools are required for operation. Ordinary tools (such as hex wrenches or screwdrivers) can be used to easily install threaded locking retaining rings. No hydraulic presses or custom fixtures are needed for adjustment. Precise adjustment can be achieved simply by using the threaded screws on the locking ring.
