Retaining Rings: An Instant Shoulder for Your Components

Sometimes modifying an assembly with a convenient, affordable “add-on” part just makes more sense than making your machining operations even more complex than they already are. For instance, if you need to create a shoulder on a shaft or inside a bore, you have to use more total material and spend extra machining the shoulder,…
