We constructed our solar field that has a 4 MW capacity, allowing...

Total Engineering Support Rotor Clip offers choice, and provides solutions. We employ a large and dedicated Engineering team in order to partner with our customers to ensure that we understand your application requirements and constraints, as well as to make certain that Rotor Clip continues innovating. Design Engineering Partnership: The parameters of an application should determine which retaining ring, wave spring or hose clamp is ideal to use, and this will vary from assembly to assembly. Selecting the correct type of fastener based on variables such as installation or removal...

Our Expertise: Customization You may not need a lot of support if you are just ordering the standard part number with the same supplier over and over again, but what happens if you need help identifying the right retaining ring solution, have specific product certification demands, or require proper installation advice? From pricing, lead times, logistics to part specs, application design assistance, and feasibility studies; our team has the answers. We will be able to explain to you the suitability of one of our standard parts for your application or the characteristics of a custom designed...

Vertical Manufacturing We Engineer It It all begins with engineering, the skilled translation of your needs into accurate, concise language. Our engineers do more than execute drawings: They analyze engineering problems to find solutions and produce designs that stress efficiency and maximize yield of products. All Rotor Clip carbon steel retaining rings and hose clamps are heat treated using the austempering method. Parts are heated in one of six specially built in-house furnaces and special care is taken to feed rings into the furnace at the proper rate. A computer automatically regulates...

Choosing a Retaining Ring Solution We offer Choice: We provide solutions. No one retaining ring style is “better” than another. Rather, the parameters of an application actually determine which retaining ring is best to use, and this can vary from assembly to assembly. Selecting the correct type of retaining ring based on variables such as installation/removal requirements, anticipated thrust load, and end play take-up can ensure the retaining ring you choose will perform reliably, while significantly reducing fastener costs. There are three main types of retaining rings available to the...

Inch Tapered Section Retaining Rings Axially Assembled Axial retaining rings are designed for axial installation into machined grooves. These rings are 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. Internal Housing Ring Once installed in the groove of a housing/bore, the portion of the ring protruding from the groove (shoulder) securely holds an assembly in place. Axially Installed External Shaft Inverted Ring Functions like an SH ring on a shaft, only the lugs are...
