Spirolox Retaining Rings - Engineered to give you freedom of design and fast product assembly

The unique design and precision-fabrication of Spirolox Retaining Rings gives you greater freedom of design and speeds product assembly by eliminating excess machining and reducing the number of parts. The Spirolox continuous, uniform retaining shoulder obsoletes the need for machined shoulders, counterboring, threading, drilling and other complicated and costly processes. Saves labor, material, weight and space.

DESIGN OPTIONS
To further increase your freedom of design, a number of optional variations are available:

1. The height of the continuous uniform retaining shoulder can be varied for special applications without incurring tooling costs.
2. Rings of varying thickness can be fabricated by either varying the thickness of the material and by increasing the number of turns.
3. Use of thin section material permits the forming of tabs, prongs and other devices for meeting special assembly or disassembly problems.
4. Use of multi turn sections permits greater flexibility during installation.
5. Rings can be fabricated from specialty materials and given a variety of finishes.

Spirolox Retaining Rings can be assembled quickly by manual methods, and they lend themselves readily to semi-automatic methods for high-volume production.

Custom rings can be designed to user specifications and forecasted usage.

Automatic equipment coils, crimps, notches and cuts-off Spirolox Retaining Rings on one machine. Other modern machinery in the hands of skilled operators keeps production moving form raw materials storage to packing and shipping.

Continuous quality-control analysis and monitoring both in the laboratory and on the production line makes sure that uncompromising quality is maintained.

Spirolox maintains controlled certification of raw materials, lot segregation on in-process materials and of finished inventory. Certification of conformance for materials used and/or for finished parts are available on request. Certifications for special requirements such as MIL-R-27426 must be requested at the time order is placed.

The staff is also at your service to render engineering, technical and design assistance for the development of special rings to meet unusual requirements.

Spirolox understands spiral wound retaining rings better than anyone in the business. We are the original patent holders, and have continued to develop and improve our rings over the years. We have developed formulas and countless data to verify those formulas, and have combined them both with our computer system to accurately design the right ring for your application.
