CUSTOM RETAINING RING CONFIGURATIONS Balanced Balanced Retaining Rings are retaining rings with slots cut opposite the gap end to centralize the rings’ center of gravity. • Slots made in radial wall balance the ring • Suitable for reducing eccentric loading in applications where balance is critical • Available as a custom option for retaining rings • Balanced when rotating in an assembly, particularly for higher RPMs Spirolox Two-Turn Balanced Retaining Ring Self-Locking Smalley’s Self-Locking Retaining Rings are multiple-turn rings that have self-locking mechanisms. There are two types of self-locking rings.
Spirolox Tab and Slot rings have a small tab on the inside, outside, or center of the radial wall, along with an aligned slot on the next turn for it to “lock” into place. Revolox rings have a dome-shaped protrusion and allow for more easy installation and removal. Spirolox Two-Turn Retaining Ring — Locking on I.D. Spirolox Two-Turn Retaining Ring — Locking on O.D. • Suitable for applications with high rotational requirements or speeds exceeding standard spiral capacity • Prevents interference with mating components Spirolox Two-Turn Retaining Ring — Locking on Centerline Revolox Two-Turn Retaining Ring — Locking on O.D.
