QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE TAPERED SECTION RETAINING RINGS – RADIALLY INSTALLED Radial retaining rings are radially installed into machined grooves on shafts. They don’t have lugs or lug holes and do not extend as far around the circumference of the grooves as their axial counterparts. Consequently, they can accommodate applications with lower thrust loads than those retained by axial retaining rings. They can be installed quickly using applicators and dispensers.
E - External E-clip
RE - External Reinforced E-clip
C - External Crescent Ring
LC - External Interlocking Ring
PO/POL - External Poodle Clip
Three prongs make constant contact with the bottom of the groove and provide a shoulder for effective retention of assemblies.
The RE retaining ring is a reinforced version of the E-clip ring, which will accommodate higher thrust loads and RPM. RE-clips function in the same groove as regular E-clip rings.
Ideal for low clearance applications where radial installation is preferred.
The ends interlock into a groove on a shaft and, once assembled, are dynamically balanced. Effective at retaining assemblies with extremely high rotational speeds.
Features wide “ears” (resembling those of a poodle dog, thus the name) which offer extra retention surface against the retained part. Also available in thinner sizes (POL).

Compensating for accumulated tolerances is what a BE bowed retaining ring is designed to do on a shaft. Once snapped into the groove, bowed rings exert a force or a “preload” on the retained part.
In addition to the bowed design for eliminating “play” in an assembly, it also features two prongs, which extend from the inner circumferences to the open end locking the ring firmly into place.
Three prongs make contact with the bottom of the groove and provide a shoulder for effective retention of assemblies.
