Self-Locking Rings

Self-locking retaining rings are ideal for applications that have high rotation requirements. This feature allows the ring to function properly at speeds above the recommended rotational capacity. The self-locking option can be used on both outer and inner rings. The self-locking feature uses a dome on the inner turn that “locks” into a slot on the outer turn.

Self-locking allows the ring to operate at high speeds, withstand vibration, operate under rapid acceleration, and absorb some degree of shock loading.
