Internal retaining ring

externalself-locking

Self-locking allows the ring to operate at high speeds, withstand vibration, function under rapid acceleration, and absorb a degree of impact loading. Revo I ox® Self-Locking Rings for High RPM From electric motors to transmissions, the Revolox Self-Locking Ring from Smalley is engineered with your high rotational capacity applications in mind. The revolutionary retaining ring enables engineers to design around high RPM requirements safely, easily, and with ease of assembly for high production volumes. The 'dome and slot' design prevents ring expansion, safely securing your application at high RPM. This makes it possible to operate at higher speeds, withstand vibration, function under rapid acceleration, and absorb a degree of impact loading. Why use a Revolox? • Superior and secure RPM performance o Tested and optimized for high RPM performance • Ease of installation Sturdy design not easily damaged during installation • Lightweight Lower rotating mass, lower cost for increased efficiency • Automated installation capabilities c' Ideal for high production volumes • Inherently better balance than traditional snap rings Decreased vibration Self-Locking Retaining Rings are ideal for applications that have high rotational requirements. This feature allows the ring to function properly at speeds that exceed the recommended rotational capacity. The self-locking option can be incorporated for both external and internal rings. The self-locking feature utilizes a dome on the inside turn locking* into a slot on the outside turn. Tab and Slot Self-Locking Retaining Rings • Easy visual verification of proper installation • Available in heavier cross-sections of wire
