Rotor Clip Co. Inc. – a manufacturer of retaining rings and wave springs – now offers a cost-saving method to pre-load and retain bearings in a variety of applications.

These applications, according to Rotor Clip, can use a multi-turn wave spring to accomplish the task. “The radial wall of the wave spring offers a wide supporting surface and the bearing load in the waves guarantees 100% axial transmission of the load,” said Rotor Clip.

The entire assembly can be held in place using a 2-turn spiral retaining ring instead of a cover plate. The ring would offer a 360-degree closed surface of contact for the wave spring.
“The combination of both retaining ring and wave spring offers an economical way of accomplishing the bearing pre-load and retention task,” said Rotor Clip.
