Metric Self-Locking Rings

Metric Self-locking retaining rings can be installed on a shaft or in a housing/bore without using a groove. They save machining time and overall costs since a groove is not needed for installation. They also come in small sizes (some fitting shafts as small as 1.5mm in diameter) and can be used effectively and economically on small applications with very low thrust loadings. Most self-locking retaining rings can not be easily removed once installed.

DTX – Toothed External “Push on” Ring

This ring features a curved outer rim with a series of prongs protruding into the center. The ends create interference with the shaft when the ring is installed and a load introduced to the other side.

DTX Size Range: 1.5mm – 45mm

DTI – Toothed Internal “Push on” Ring

The internal version of the DTX with a curved inner rim and a series of prongs protruding outwards. The ends create interference with the housing when the ring is installed and a load introduced to the other side.

DTI Size Range: 8mm – 50mm
