Retaining Rings: Snap Rings, Circlips & Spiral Rings

Tapered Section Rings


Provide secure and reliable retention with their tapered shape and strong grip. Easy to install with retaining ring tools or automation, they provide a reliable and secure assembly solution.

Radial Rings (E-Clips C-Rings, Poodle Rings)


Offering simplicity, variety, and functional design, radial rings accommodate less force than axial rings, making them suitable when thrust loading is secondary. Choose from a range of configurations to match your requirements.

Self-Locking and Push-On Retaining Rings


Secure, compact, and easy-to-install, these rings feature notches or indentations to ensure the ring stays firmly in place even under vibration or dynamic loads. Ideal for low thrust load applications and require no groove.

Constant Section Rings


Uniform width along the circumference, providing three-point contact with the groove. Ideal for tight clearances, their log-free design ensures effective performance in applications across a variety of industries.

Spiral Retaining Rings


Coiled products that act as an artificial shoulder in a groove. They provide 360-degree contact and require no special tools for installation and removal. Choose from standard or custom configurations, and a variety of alloys to suit your needs.



Hose Clamps: Self-Compensating for Low-Pressure Applications

Single & Double Wire


The single wire concentrates the clamping force in one specific area around the hose to give the most effective holding force and clamping strength. Double-wire clamps are a cost-effective choice for applications where a lower clamping force than offered by single wire clamps is sufficient and aesthetics are important.

Constant Tension


Constant tension band clamps are used in applications where a lower clamping force than offered by single wire clamps is sufficient, but a higher clamping force than produced by a double wire hose clamp is needed. Constant tension band hose clamps are manufactured with a smooth, 15-millimeter wide construction to provide a sturdy, uniform grip and prevent against damage to the hose.
