Smalley offers spiral retaining rings and snap rings for both internal and external ring applications. Spirolox Retaining Rings meet military and aerospace specifications and are found in thousands of mechanical products around the world. Spirolox Retaining Rings have a uniform cross-section (or to use our terminology, No Ears to Interfere® within an assembly) and are free of burrs. Unlike a die-stamped circlip/retaining ring, a Spirolox ® Retaining Ring (a spiral retaining ring) and a Constant Section Retaining Ring (snap ring) are coiled on edge to the exact diameter required. What Makes a Smalley Retaining Ring Different?
