Smalley's new Hoopster Retaining Rings offer an innovative way to retain mechanical components when space is a problem. Hoopsters have a minimal radial projection and a shallow groove depth.

The low profile Hoopsters are ideal for applications with thin wall cylinders. The ring ends flex for simplified assembly and removal with no special tools required.
