398-0946: Retaining Ring

Description:
A retaining ring is a type of mechanical fastener that is used to secure a cylinder seal in place. Cylinder seals are used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to prevent fluid or air from leaking between the piston and cylinder bore. The cylinder seal retaining ring is typically a circular metal ring with a series of tabs or hooks that fit into a groove on the cylinder bore. The ring is installed over the cylinder seal, and the tabs or hooks engage with the groove to hold the seal securely in place.

Attributes:
• Strong enough to withstand the forces exerted on it during operation, as well as resist corrosion and wear.
• Fits securely in the groove and holds the seal firmly in place.
• Designed to a high level of precision, with tight tolerances to ensure a proper fit and effective sealing.
• Withstand the temperature, pressure, and chemical properties of the fluid or gas without degrading or corroding.

Applications:
A retaining ring is used in hydraulic and pneumatic systems to hold a cylinder seal securely in place. It is extensively used in Cat 777E, 776D, 777D, and 777 Off-highway Truck.
