Retaining rings restrain coils, insulation and blocking near the end turns of a generator rotor. They must have high strength and fracture toughness to withstand the tangential and axial stresses that ...

Engineers are challenged daily to come up with economical product designs that reduce weight, size, raw materials and labor. This competitive mandate affects every design facet, including the ...

Retaining rings – also known as snap rings and circlips – are metal fasteners installed into a groove on a shaft or in a housing or bore to retain an assembly. They keep parts in place using a compact ...

Abstract: Retaining ring in rotating machineries such as turbo-generators is to resist centrifugal forces of the field end winding of rotors. Retaining ring is one of the high stressed parts of a ...

Trouble-free connection of components to shafts, in housings, or on bores — essential for torque transmission and position maintenance — is simplified with retaining rings. However, the effects of ...

Internal retaining rings act as a removable shoulder within a bore/housing. These internal rings come in a variety of configurations. For applications that require an internal retaining ring, Smalley ...

Retaining rings, unassuming but critical components in the world of engineering and mechanics, come in various forms, each with its unique characteristics and advantages. Whether internal or external, ...

Rotor Clip Company, Inc., a leading manufacturer in retaining rings, hose clamps and related products has improved upon the method of eliminating endplay-vibration in a pump application. The bearing ...

Abstract: This study presents a new approach to edge profile control during air back carrier Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP). Control of wafer edge profile proves to be difficult as different ...
