Outer sedimentary rings
External retaining rings, also known as Seger rings, are a type of link connecting elements and components of machines. They are made of high-quality spring steel or stainless steel. External spring-loaded retaining rings are mounted on shafts with grooves with a nominal diameter ranging from 3 to 300 mm. They are available in various sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. They secure machine parts against axial displacement, allowing the parts to stay in the correct position. External Seger rings eliminate the need for threading, drilling, and other machining operations related to installing screws, nuts, washers, or rivets. They can be easily installed and removed using special pliers. It is important to note that different pliers are used for external retaining rings and internal ones, so it is advisable to have both types on hand. On the market, sets of external Seger rings are also available, containing retaining rings in various sizes. The set is neatly organized in a special organizer.
Application of external sedimentation rings
The external retaining ring is a lightweight and effective component used to prevent axial displacement in various industries, such as automotive, energy, machinery, machining, sports equipment, and rehabilitation. The external retaining ring is mounted on: - Bushings - Bearings - Wheels (gear, chain, belt) - Discs - Couplings - Pins in drive shafts
External retaining rings according to DIN 471 and PN 85111 standards
The DIN 471 and PN 85111 standards define specifications and requirements for external retaining rings, which are commonly used in various industries. These standards provide detailed information on dimensions, materials, tolerances, and testing methods for external retaining rings, ensuring that the products meet specific quality and safety standards.
DIN 471 refers to the international standard that specifies requirements for external circlips used on shafts. This standard describes in detail the characteristics of such circlips, including their dimensions, materials, installation, and removal specifications. By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can ensure that their retaining rings are universal and can be used in a wide range of industrial applications.
On the other hand, PN 85111 is a Polish standard that also regulates aspects related to external retaining rings. It focuses on defining quality and dimensional criteria that must be met by retaining rings used in specific industrial conditions in Poland. This standard enables manufacturers and end-users to better understand the expected product specifications and ensures compliance with local regulations and standards.
