Retainer Ring Wires

Retainer rings, often called circlips, coil rings and section rings, are specialty fasteners designed for shafts and bores. Wire retaining rings fit into a groove and function as a stabilizer or shim for connected components, reducing vibration and ensuring components stay secure. At Bekaert, we manufacture custom shaped wires for the manufacture of retaining rings.

Retainer Ring Wire Features

Bekaert's custom steel profiling techniques — cold-rolling and cold-drawing — support a wide-range of retainer ring designs. We process several steel grades: High-carbon, CrSi, and stainless steels. Other features of retainer ring wire include:

  • Internal and external wire designs.
  • Trapezoidal, “step” profiles, round, flat wire and rectangular cross-sections.
  • Standard and custom sizing options.
  • Multiple heat-treatment options: Oil-tempered, Induction hardened & tempered, annealed and patented inlet wire options. We can achieve the correct tensile strength and hardness for your fasteners.
