Crescent Rings

Crescent Rings

Crescent rings, or C-clips, are radially-assembled retaining rings that snap into the machined groove of a shaft creating retention. Their section height is narrow, providing good clearance capabilities, especially when clearance is minimal. They are absent of teeth and deep sets, resulting in lower thrust load ratings than E-clips. Huyett’s inventory of crescent rings includes a huge size range fit for almost any application.
