Beveled and bowed retaining rings are part of our tapered section ring family and are designed for specific requirements involving axial play, tolerance stack-up, endplay control, and vibration under operating conditions. Beveled rings use a 15° wedge geometry to create rigid axial locking and resist back-out under load, while bowed rings use a preformed spring shape to maintain axial preload and control endplay. Learn more about each ring’s key features and characteristics below!
