American Ring

Trusted Manufacturing Partner for Retaining Rings

Advanced Manufacturing with Personalized Service

Some companies only manufacture retaining rings. Others just distribute them. At American Ring, we do both—giving you manufacturer-direct pricing with distributor-level customer support. Our full-service model means faster quotes, custom inventory plans, and direct access to engineers who provide real problem-solving support. 

“It’s great to have the fast support of a distributor—and even better when you can also talk through design and production with an experienced engineer.”

In-House Retaining Ring Expertise That Saves You Time

At American Ring, we control every step of the process—from tooling to packaging—so you don’t have to wait on outside vendors. We build custom tools and dies in-house, often within hours or days, drastically cutting lead times. Our team handles everything from part cleaning for sensitive machinery to ring stacking to streamline your production process. 

Faster Turnaround with Custom Wire Shaping

By shaping wire in-house, we offer greater design flexibility, faster turnaround, and lower costs. We start with standard round wire and form custom cross sections—no need for special material orders, and no added lead time. 

“The part we needed typically takes 10 weeks to produce—American Ring delivered it in just 3 weeks, thanks to their in-house wire shaping and tooling capabilities.”
