Retaining rings, widely used as fasteners in our daily industrial hardware, are very popular in the industry. They also have another name: snap rings. However, many people often consider snap rings and retaining rings to be the same thing. In fact, there are many differences between the two.

Snap rings, also called retaining rings or snap rings, are a type of hardware fastener. They come in many types and are mainly installed in the shaft grooves or bore grooves of machines and equipment. Simply put, they prevent the axial movement of parts on a shaft or in a hole. 

A snap ring is an important part, a small component; its Specification is generally very small. Snap rings are usually circular, but have a gap at one end. By placing the snap ring on the component that needs to be fixed and then locking the gap with a screw, the component can be kept stable. This is the function of a snap ring. 

On CNC lathes, spindle snap rings are often used as fixtures for clamping parts. Because of the structure and accuracy of spindle snap rings, they are widely used in manufacturing. However, in the specific production process, the snap ring lacks an axial positioning device and can only rely on the end face of the snap ring and a specific tool for positioning. The specific operation is to move the tool to a certain fixed position set by the program, open the machine door, release the snap ring, then pull the end face of the workpiece to be processed to the tool face for matching, then clamp the spindle snap ring, and close the machine door.
