Rotor Clip Company, Inc. manufactures a full line of inch, DIN, ANSI metric, and JIS retaining rings to world standards, as well as a complete line of constant section rings, spiral retaining rings, and wave springs.

Retaining rings are metal fasteners that are installed into a groove on a shaft or in a housing or bore creating a shoulder that retains an assembly. They eliminate threading, tapping, drilling, and other machining operations associated with more traditional fasteners like screws, nuts, bolts, cotter pins, and washers. They can significantly reduce production costs since the grooves can be machined with other production processes. They provide a more compact, functional design overall than their traditional counterparts.
