Shaped Ring Design Information
Shaped rings, like springs, are used as energy-storing devices and can be found in all types of mechanical products. Newcomb Spring produces an array of rings in all sizes and shapes, which are used in a variety of applications. Most of the rings we produce are round in shape, though our custom process allows us to manufacture other shapes, including hexagon and oblong. Common ring types include snap rings and retaining rings.
Generally, rings are considered to be external or internal. External rings are typically used to hold a collection of items together, and can be installed on a shaft. Internal rings are usually inserted into a bored area or housing, and exert pressure outward. When installed, the ring is elastically deformed and put into place in order to snap back to its unstressed condition.
Many designs opt for rings as opposed to pins or screws, as they offer greater tolerances and require less machining.
Shaped Ring Materials
Most often, ring materials are selected by the environment that the part will be used in. However, different material types offer different load capacities which need to be considered to ensure the ring will operate without the risk of failure. Newcomb Spring’s design assistance team is ready to help you with the design of your shaped rings, whether its a heavy duty external retaining ring or a metal o ring.
