Retaining rings restrain coils, insulation and blocking near the end turns of a generator rotor. They must have high strength and fracture toughness to withstand the tangential and axial stresses that ...

Trouble-free connection of components to shafts, in housings, or on bores — essential for torque transmission and position maintenance — is simplified with retaining rings. However, the effects of ...

Even though the maximumallowable thrust load capacities for retaining rings are given in the manufacturer'stechnical manual, there are numerous design applications issues to consider.For example, if a ...

Hoop-style retaining rings offer an innovative way to retain mechanical components when space is limited. Their thin cross section results in minimal radial projection beyond a shaft, and lets them ...
