Retaining ring DIN 471 for shafts
Retaining rings according to DIN 471 prevent axial detachment on axles, shafts and bolts. The retaining elements are standardised parts and are primarily used in the mechanical engineering field. The retaining rings are equipped with a slot or groove so that they can be positioned precisely on a shaft.
It is possible to mount these retaining elements using an assembly tool. They can be disassembled.
They are available in different sizes for shaft diameters 4 mm to 50 mm in spring steel or stainless steel.

What is the difference between retaining rings DIN 471 and retaining rings DIN 472?
Retaining rings according to DIN 472 (internal retaining rings, with inward-facing ends), on the other hand, are intended for use in bores. They are installed in a groove within a bore and hold components in place from the inside out to prevent them from slipping out of the bore. Both types of retaining rings have a characteristic C-shape with ends that slightly point outward or inward, to facilitate insertion and removal with the help of a special retaining ring pliers. Despite their similar function and construction, they are designed for different applications, with DIN 471 used on the shaft and DIN 472 used in the bore.
