Retaining rings, also known as snap rings or circlips, are components used to secure elements on a shaft or in a bore. They provide a cost-effective and efficient way to axially position and retain components within a housing or on a shaft. There are two main types of retaining rings for shafts: internal retaining rings and external retaining rings.

Internal retaining rings are designed to fit into a groove on the inside diameter (ID) of a bore or a housing.They are typically installed using retaining ring pliers or other suitable tools that allow for the ring to be expanded for insertion into the groove and then contracted to seat securely in the groove.Internal retaining rings are commonly used in bores or housings where a traditional external retaining ring may not be suitable or aesthetically desirable.External retaining rings are designed to fit into a groove on the outside diameter (OD) of a shaft.They are usually installed using external retaining ring pliers or similar tools. The ring is expanded for placement over the shaft and then contracted to sit securely in the groove.External retaining rings are widely used in various applications, such as automotive, machinery, and industrial equipment, where components need to be secured on a shaft.It's important to note that there are various styles and configurations of retaining rings, including spiral rings, constant section rings, and tapered section rings, each with its own advantages and use cases. The specific requirements of your application will determine the most suitable type of retaining ring to use.
