Spirolox® Retaining Rings are specified to literally retain components within a bore or shaft. What sets them apart from other retaining rings on the market is that they are designed with “No Ears to Interfere®,” so there is nothing to get in the way of assemblies. But if there are no “ears” or “lugs,” how are Smalley’s rings installed?
Lock washers, also referred to as split washers, are used to prevent nuts and bolts from slipping or turning in applications.
The washer applies a light load to minimize the effects of vibration, keeping the nut and bolt tightly in place. Lock washers are typically manufactured from low-cost materials to take up tolerances.
