Retaining Rings
Matthew Warren Spring manufactures custom retaining rings, also known as coiled rings, snap rings, round wire rings, circlips, square section rings, rectangular section rings, custom-shaped section rings, or tapered section rings. Our snap rings are available in various end configurations for use in multiple applications.
There are two main types of snap and retaining rings - internal rings, which are assembled inside a cylinder where the ring fits inside a hole (or bore), and external rings, which are assembled on the outside of the shaft. Contact us to request a quote for custom retaining rings.
