Centrifugal Capacity Retaining Snap Rings Calculator

ANSI Hardware Design and Data

Centrifugal Capacity Retaining Snap Rings Calculator: Ring speed should be kept below the allowable steady-state speed of the ring, or self-locking rings specially designed for high-speed applications should be used, otherwise an external ring can lose its grip on the groove.

All data should be given in inches.
