High RPM Retaining Solutions Technical Guide

RPM requirements for modern applications are higher than ever. Many engineers struggle to find retaining rings that can withstand these high RPM requirements. Workaround solutions often result in more assembly time and cost more money, or even worse, fail in the application.

If you’re facing high RPM design challenges, this Technical Guide will help you solve them! We will cover the different types of high RPM fastening solutions and the pros and cons of each:

• Design a custom retaining ring
  
• Add a self-locking feature to a standard or custom retaining ring
  
• Review a non-retaining ring alternate solution
