ANSI Hardware Design Guide and Charts

Thrust Load Capacity of Inch Series Internal Self-Locking Retaining Rings

Internal Rings: Thrust loads are for rings made of standard material inserted into cold-rolled, low carbon housing. Ring Thickness Tolerances: For housing sizes 0.311 through 0.627, ±0.001; for sizes 0.748 through 1.502, ±0.002. Ring Diameter Tolerances: For housing sizes 0.311 through 0.439, ±0.005; for sizes 0.498 through 1.502, ±0.010.
