| | Square External (Radial) (XSO): Low clearance wire formed ring with limited range. Open gap style allows radial installation. Difficult to remove. Parts are sized for external shaft applications. | |
| | |
| | Square External (Axial) (XSC): Low clearance wire formed ring with limited range. Closed gap style requires axial assembly, with more contact and thrust load ratings versus open style. | |
| | |
| | Round External (Radial) (XRO): Low clearance wire formed ring with limited range. Open gap style allows radial installation. Difficult to remove. Parts are sized for external shaft applications. | |
| | |
| | Round External (Axial) (XRC): Low clearance wire formed ring with limited range. Closed gap style requires axial assembly, with more contact and thrust load ratings versus open style. XRC is fairly common, while the A10 series is obsolete. | |
| | |
| | Round External Light Duty (A10): Low clearance wire formed ring with limited range. Closed gap style requires axial assembly, with more contact and thrust load ratings versus open style. XRC is fairly common, while the A10 series is obsolete. | |
| | |
| | Rectangular External (TRC): Rectangular section ring used in place of Basic External-style snap ring where space is very limited. Same groove width as the Basic Internal. | |
| | |
| | Crimped (AAR): Ring is installed radially and "crimped" into position using standard pliers. | |
| | |
| | Metric Round Section External (DRP): Round section wire rings mostly used in semicircular grooves. Applications include gear systems, automotive engineering, and retaining gudgeon pins. Axial assembly. | |
| | |
| | Metric Round Section Internal (DRB): Round section wire rings mostly used in semicircular grooves. Applications include gear systems, automotive engineering, and retaining gudgeon pins. Axial assembly. | |
| | |
| | Metric Round Section Internal (D17): Round section wire formed ring for internal application. Used to retain gudgeon pins. This ring type is gradually becoming obsolete. | |
| | |
| | External Radiused Edge (DSP): Used to secure roller bearings. Unique radiused edge makes these parts very application-specific. | |
| | |
| | Metric Rectangular Section External (DSW): Small radial width. Applications include gear systems, securing needle bearings, and use as spacers. | |
| | |
| | Metric Rectangular Section Internal (DSB): Small radial width. Applications include gear systems, securing needle bearings, and use as spacers. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Basic External (USC): Wire formed spring steel ring installed using special pliers or with tapered plug and bushing. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Light Duty External (XD): Generally this part is thinner than the Basic External but has a wider radial wall. Used in needle bearings and other lighter-weight applications. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Notched External (USH): Low-profile wire formed ring with notches (instead of lugs) for installation pliers. This design requires no orientation during installation. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Basic Internal (UHB): Wire formed spring steel ring installed using special pliers or with a plug and tapered bushing. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Light Duty Internal (ND): Generally this part is thinner than the Basic Internal but has a wider radial wall. Used in needle bearings and other lighter-weight applications. | |
| | |
| | Eaton™ Notched Internal (UHO): Low-profile wire formed ring with notches (instead of lugs) for installation pliers. This design requires no orientation during installation. | |
| | |
| | Metric Eaton™ Basic External: Metric wire formed external retaining ring for use with SAE standard bearings. | |
| | |
| | Metric Eaton™ Basic Internal: Metric wire formed internal retaining ring for use with SAE standard bearings. | |
| | |
| | External "C" Style: Lighter duty radially-installed external (A12) or axially-installed internal (D25) rings that tolerate wide groove tolerances. Easily fitted and removed using a standard hand tool or applicator. | |
| | |
| | Internal "D" Style: Lighter duty radially-installed external (A12) or axially-installed internal (D25) rings that tolerate wide groove tolerances. Easily fitted and removed using a standard hand tool or applicator. | |
| | |
| | Piston Rings: Unique wire-formed rings used in high volume automated assemblies. Generally found in the automotive industry only. | |
