The RE retaining ring is a reinforced version of the E ring which will accommodate higher thrust loadings and RPM's. RE rings function in the same groove as regular E rings so that you can change from one to the other without re-engineering the application
With regards to the RE series retaining rings, only the black phosphate coated (RE-PA) rings are listed in this database, however other finishes are available upon special request
Alternate Finishes Available:
(RE-H) Stainless Steel - PH 15-7 Mo is an extra strength corrosion-resistant stainless steel, capable of preventing atmospheric oxidation at temperatures up to 900ยบ F
(RE-ZD) Yellow Zinc Dichromate - It affords the metal excellent salt spray protection (96 hours) and is particularly effective for applications exposed to seawater. This retaining rings zinc plated finish utilizes a mechanical plating process which effectively eliminates hydrogen embrittlement
