RTW Internal Retaining Ring
(5000 Series Internal Retaining Rings | ANSI Standard)

The 5100 Series is the American standard (ASME / ANSI) R-Type Internal Retaining Ring, designed to be installed in bore grooves of mechanical components. It restricts the axial movement of bearings, washers, or other parts, ensuring secure assembly while allowing repeated installation and removal.

Its design features a double-hole structure, which enables quick installation and removal using dedicated internal circlip pliers. Widely applied in European and American imported equipment as well as heavy-duty machinery.

R-Type Internal Retaining Ring | ANSI 5000 Inch Standard | Carbon Steel Material | Black Oxide Finish | Suitable for Bore Positioning in American Equipment
R-Type Internal Retaining Ring | ANSI 5000 Inch Standard | Stainless Steel Material | Internal Elastic Snap Ring | Suitable for Various Environments
