ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS FOR EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

HIGH-QUALITY PRODUCTS LET YOU MEET THE DEMANDS OF THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY RELIABLY

When your designs are essential to the world’s productivity you need high-quality products on which you can rely.

We understand the challenges engineers encounter. For example, our high carbon steel retaining rings are made in a variety of configurations to perform critical retention of components that take a beating in hostile operating environments where energy extraction and exploration are located. And, our spiral wound flat wire wave springs are often used in the oil and gas industry to replace disc springs to help save radial space, particularly in downhole tools.

Rotor Clip components are used throughout the oil and gas industry because we stock a wide range of standard materials and finishes for production. We also offer a host of specialty materials that perform in hostile outdoor, undersea and underground environments including those that resist sulfide stress corrosion — a common threat in the oil and gas industry.

Whether you require a part that must handle heavy mechanical loads, stand up to corrosion in salt water or perform in extreme temperatures up to 1,000°F over a long lifetime, Rotor Clip engineers will work with you to understand the end application and operating conditions to produce a reliable part.

SPIRAL RETAINING RINGS

SPIRAL RETAINING RINGS

• Axially installed into machined grooves in housings/bores (internal) or on shafts (external).

• Offer more clearance than a tapered section ring.

• Single-turn versions are good for light duty applications.

• Two-turn and multi-turn versions for applications with medium or high thrust load requirements. In-house rolled flat wire material with rounded edges provides a gapless ring with 360º of retention.

• Spiral rings offer space savings in a radial direction since there are no assembly lugs as with tapered retaining rings.

MATERIALS

• Carbon spring steel (ST)

• Stainless steel - AISI 302 (SJ)

• Stainless steel - AISI 316 (SU)

• Stainless steel - PH17-7 (SQ)

• Beryllium copper (BC)

ROTO RC L I P.CO M | I N F O @ ROTO RC L I P.CO M

FINISHES

• Oil dip

• Cadmium plating

• Passivation


Customization sizes range from .188 - 25” or 3 - 635 mm.

CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS

• Loaded and rotational capacity

• Tolerance

• Wire thickness and shape

• Coiling direction

• Material and finishes

• Quality assurances / certifications

Gapless contact with the groove means stronger fixing strength for your assembly.

Product SpotlightINTERLOCKING SPIRAL RETAINING RINGS

This spiral retaining ring with locking tab offers:

• Higher RPM limits

• Maintenance free applications

• Tamper resistance

SINGLE-TURN WAVE SPRINGS

• Appropriate for light duty applications with low to moderate thrust loads.

• Particularly suited to fit narrow radial wall dimensions and low clearances or to accommodate ball or roller bearings.

MULTI-TURN WAVE SPRINGS

• Compact and robust, they are particularly suitable for medium and heavy duty applications or designs requiring high thrust load capacity.

• They can accommodate a wide variety of loads, deflections and diameters.

• Multi-turn wave springs typically replace coiled springs or stacks of disc springs. Customers can choose plain or shim ends.

MATERIALS

• Carbon steel (standard)

• 17-7 Stainless Steel (standard)

Why settle for ordinary springs when wave springs offer optimal force handling, space savings and performance?

Product SpotlightSPACE SAVINGS WITH WAVE SPRINGS

• Reduced work height

• Up to 50% of axial space savings compared to conventional coil springs

AXIAL SPACE SAVINGS

Internal Beveled Ring

External Beveled Ring

Rotor Clip offers several versions of retaining rings (axially, radially or self-locking) — both internal and external — to suit your requirements:

AXIALLY

• Designed for axial installation into machined groove.

• Either internal for installation in housings and bores, or external for assembly on shafts.

• Once installed, they provide a protrusion or “shoulder” for retaining parts.

RADIALLY

• Radially installed into machined grooves on shafts.

• They don’t have lugs or lug holes.

• They can accommodate applications with lower thrust loadings.

• Can be installed quickly using Rotor Clip applicators and dispensers.

SELF-LOCKING

• Can be installed on a shaft or in a housing / bore without using a groove.

• Save machining time and overall costs since a groove is not needed for installation.

• Available in small sizes and can be used effectively and economically on small applications with very low thrust loadings.

Product SpotlightBEVELED RETAINING RING

These rings wedge between the retained part and the groove wall, until assembly is "locked" into place.

• Permits manufacturers to work with larger tolerances in assembled parts.

• Rings also help to improve application performance and life by eliminating vibration and noise caused by accumulated tolerances.
