Q4306 hole use elastic retaining ring

Suitable for internal bore limiting applications in heavy-duty/light-duty truck gearboxes, bearing holes, hydraulic cylinder bodies, etc., it can directly replace original parts and has good interchangeability. Made of high-quality 65Mn spring steel, quenched and tempered (HRC 44–51), it has uniform elasticity, fatigue resistance, and is not easily deformed, ensuring it will not loosen or break under long-term vibration conditions. In its free state, the outer diameter is slightly larger than the bore diameter; after being inserted into the groove, it elastically grips the groove wall, providing strong axial limiting and effectively preventing axial movement of bearings/gears. The end face is flat and burr-free, ensuring a stable fit and preventing “jumping” or “dropping.”

Q4306 internal circlip (also known as internal retaining ring) is a precision fastening component manufactured in accordance with Q430 automotive standard and GB/T 893 international standard. It is designed for axial positioning of components such as bearings, gears, bushings, and pistons within bore applications.

Though compact in size, this circlip plays a critical role in preventing axial movement during operation, ensuring stable transmission and improving overall equipment reliability.

Key Features

Standardized Design & High Compatibility

  • Fully compliant with Q430 and GB/T 893 standards
  • Precise dimensions with excellent interchangeability
  • Direct replacement without modification

High-Quality Material

Made from premium 65Mn spring steel, offering:

  • High elasticity
  • Excellent toughness
  • Strong fatigue resistance

Heat Treatment Process

Quenching and tempering treatment (HRC 44–51) ensures:

  • Uniform hardness
  • Long service life
  • Resistance to deformation and breakage

Precision Manufacturing

  • Precision stamping with tight tolerance control
