Hydro-Gear External Retaining Ring

Hydro-Gear external retaining rings, also called external snap rings or shaft retaining rings, are replacement hardware for Hydro-Gear drive components. An external ring normally seats in a groove cut into a shaft. There it limits axial movement of the part mounted on that shaft. Rings like these are commonly used to hold bearings, gears and pulleys in position.
