The axial load is a maximum force. If there is no shear force of the retaining spring material, it can be applied to the retaining ring. In order to approach the level of the axial load, the groove must be sharp, the diameter gap between the stops should be minimized, and the load should be evenly applied to the load surface of the retaining ring
Due to the low tensile strength of the groove material, in most cases, the load of the groove is less than that of the snap ring. For more information on axial load, please contact our engineering department
The factors that affect the axial load include the radius and slope of the groove
The centrifugal force on the shaft will increase the diameter of the snap ring for external use and make the retaining surface in the groove smaller. For more information, please contact our engineering department
If you need to rotate when using, please contact our engineering department
Yield strength – this is related to both the yield strength of the groove in compression and the yield strength of the retaining ring. Three failures can occur in combination
Deformation of the groove – the yield strength of the groove is less than that of the retaining ring
Spring failure – the yield strength of the groove is greater than that of the retaining ring. The result is shear of the radial section of the retaining ring material
Combined failure – this occurs when the yield strength of the groove and the retaining ring is the same
