Each Reliable Retaining Ring for Your Shaft Needs

Each Reliable Retaining Ring for Your Shaft Needs

A shaft-mounted retaining ring might not get much attention, but it can play a huge role in keeping your equipment running smoothly. Whether it’s in electric motors, gearboxes, or bearing assemblies, these small parts deliver big results.

With a retaining a ring, we can match virtually any shaft geometry.

Expert Engineering with Proven Performance

At American Ring, we design every retaining ring with strength and consistency in mind. That’s why we invest heavily in expert engineering at every stage:
  • Advanced Design: Using finite-element analysis, our team predicts exactly how a part will perform under real-world conditions.
  • Precision Manufacturing: Stamping and coiling processes create rings that are perfectly shaped, consistent, and dependable.
  • High Performance: Our rings can handle heavy loads and withstand repeated stress cycles without cracking or breaking.
Through our attention to detail, we ensure optimal axial load capacity and superior fatigue life, giving you confidence that every retaining ring will perform as needed.

Custom Designed to Meet Your Needs

Whether you need a standard part or a custom solution, our team works closely with you every step of the way. We make sure each retaining ring fits securely, functions properly, and is easy to install. With options like pliers-installed rings, push-on styles, e-clips, and spiral rings, we can match virtually any shaft geometry. Custom projects are part of our daily work. Sometimes that means tweaking a standard design with a small adjustment, and other times it means creating a made-to-order product. When one of our long-term customers discovered a large-diameter ring that needed to be removable, we engineered a new design with a hole in the end so it could be installed and removed as needed. This small improvement ultimately saved time and costs.

Supply Chain Made Simple

Our goal is simple—we want to make your job easier by keeping your supply chain running smoothly.

With quick-turn prototyping, we can bring new retaining ring designs to life faster. Our worldwide distribution network ensures that parts are always available. Backed by large inventories and multiple stocking locations, we can ship quickly across the globe.
