Retaining rings from Daemar boost efficiency while also saving money

Daemar retaining rings suit many industries.

Daemar Inc. carries a variety of retaining rings among its wide inventory of essential components for industry. These units boost efficiency in applications while also absorbing vibration, splitting tolerances, and optimizing manufacturing assembly lines to reduce costs. This comes in handy for various industries, from food processing to oil and gas.

Since their grooves can be machined with other production processes, retaining rings are known to lower production expenses significantly.

Minimal shaft or housing preparation

Retaining rings primarily serve to hold various components onto shafts or into bores, as most shafts and bores have smooth, round finishes that make them difficult to fasten with alternative means. These rings clamp around them easily, creating shoulders that secure parts in place, offer functionality, and allow retaining rings to be installed around the exterior of shafts or bores. Daemar retaining rings can replace standard fasteners effectively, putting aside the requirement for threading, tapping, drilling, and other machining techniques associated with screws, nuts, bolts, and washers.

Among the advantages that retaining rings hold over traditional fasteners: they help to save costs on raw material and labour; they lower the weight and size of finished equipment; and they save time with minimal shaft/housing preparation. They are frequently used for making airplanes and essential biomedical machines to keep them operating correctly. Other relevant industries:

• Food processing. Food products often undergo many filtration processes to remove impurities, with numerous filters installed in production machinery. Certain retaining rings are often used to hold these filters in place, and they are simple to install and help align the filters.
• The medical sector. Their small size and availability in special alloys make retaining rings useful in surgical instruments, imaging devices, and implants. With no gaps or lungs, they are perfect for tight radial applications.
• The automotive sector. Retaining rings are crucial in today’s car components, from airbags to gear transmission systems. Other notable examples include gearboxes, rearview mirrors, steering systems, brake-pedal assemblies, and valves.
• Oil and gas. This industry’s equipment uses retaining rings in ball valves, gate valves, coiled tubing, electronic chassis, and delivery tools.
