.750" (SE) E-Style Retaining Rings / Steel / Black Phosphate (Quantity: 1,000 pcs)

A semi-circular stamping with two ends which are set further apart than both internal and external rings. The two ends have flared “prongs” which are substantially wider than the other parts of the ring. A center prong extends from the inside perimeter of the ring, halfway between the two ends. The three prongs, when radially installed, make contact with the bottom of the groove. Applications/Advantages - Designed for radial (vertical) installation into machined grooves on shafts of varying diameter. E-rings require a deeper groove, but provide exceptional thrust loadings when compared to fasteners of the same size and weight. Steel rings can be safely used within a temperature range of -100°F to 500°F. Stainless steel rings are corrosion resistant & can be used in higher heat applications from -100°F to 900°F.
