The unique mechanism prevents the ring from expanding even under centrifugal force during high-speed rotation! Reduces deformation and misalignment caused by snap rings! No additional welding or modifications required!
At SMALLEY, which has a long-standing track record with retaining rings, we have developed a "self-locking mechanism" retaining ring suitable for high-speed applications such as EV motors. The new product "Revolox" prevents the ring from expanding due to centrifugal force during high-speed rotation by having protrusions in the slot area, ensuring the ring functions properly. Both the slot and protrusion areas have sufficient strength to prevent damage during installation and removal. 【Key Points for Choosing This Product】 ■ Can be considered as an alternative for high-speed shaft rotation that cannot be held by snap rings (please contact us for rotation speed inquiries) ■ The slot and protrusion areas have sufficient strength, preventing damage during installation and removal ■ Approximately 50% lighter than conventional rings, achieving efficiency in high-speed rotation by reducing rotational mass ■ Automatic installation processes can be considered for mass production ■ Minimal runout associated with rotation, making it suitable for vibration reduction If you are having trouble with existing snap rings, please contact us. Design changes and welding can be considered without incurring costs or time. *For more details about the product, please contact us directly or refer to the brochure (English version).
