The SRE234 External Snap Ring (2-3/4") is a retaining ring designed to fit into a groove on the outside of a shaft to hold components in place. Once installed, the ring creates a shoulder that prevents bearings, gears, or other parts from sliding along the shaft. External snap rings like this are commonly used in power transmission equipment, hubs, and mechanical assemblies where reliable axial retention is required.
