Hoopster® Retaining Rings®
The Hoopster® retaining ring is designed to fit into
much shallower grooves than regular snap rings or
retaining rings. The low profile, precision
circularity and small radial size allow it to be an
unobtrusive component in an assembly.
Hoopster® Retaining Rings are suitable for light to
heavy loads and are ideal for thin wall tubes. An
additional advantage is the potential for high
thrust capacity. The low radial profile will not twist
or deform under load as with conventional retaining
rings. They are easily installed
without special tools.
Standard sizes are stocked from ⅜" to 3" and offered in
carbon and 302 stainless steel. Specials can be made
with No-Tooling-Charges™.
