DIN 471 (-1):2011 External Fastener

DIN 471 (-1):2011 External Retaining Ring is installed in a groove on a shaft to provide axial positioning and retention. The external ring forms a reliable shoulder on shaft components, preventing bearings, gears, washers, or sleeves from moving axially.

It is commonly used in motors, gear reducers, transmission shafts, pumps, automotive components, and general machinery. Compared with threaded locking components, a retaining ring offers compact installation and is suitable for axial retention designs requiring limited space and quick assembly or removal.

The proper size should be selected according to shaft diameter, groove dimensions, spring material, and corrosion-resistance requirements to maintain stable retaining performance during rotation, vibration, and maintenance disassembly.

  • Now that we've covered bolts, their "perfect partner" — the nut — is much easier to understand. Simply put, a nut is a small metal block or disc with a round hole in the center and internal threads on the wall of that hole. Its core function is to work with an externally threaded bolt to clamp two or more components to...

It is placed between the head of a bolt/nut and the surface of the workpiece, or at the junction between the ...

  • Simply put, a bolt is a cylindrical fastener with external threads. It works with a matching nut or is screwed directly into a threaded hole of the mating part to firmly hold two or more components together. To put it intuitively, think of it as a "metal nail." However, unlike a nail that is driven in with a hammer, a ...
