Retaining Rings for 1-3/4 in Shafts

These external retaining rings fit onto the outside of a 1-3/4 inch diameter shaft. They secure components in place or locate the shaft against a fixed part. The pack contains four steel rings for maintenance or assembly tasks.

Steel Construction and Pack Quantity

The rings are made from steel for strength and wear resistance. Supplied as a four-pack, they provide enough hardware for multiple repair points or spare inventory. No thermal, noise or power specifications apply to this passive fastener.

External Retaining Ring Type

This product is an external retaining ring, designed to install into a groove on the outside of a shaft. It is not an internal ring for bore mounting, so buyers needing internal retention should select a different style.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 32136 retaining ring on a 1-3/4 inch shaft?

Use external snap-ring pliers to spread the ring, slide it over the shaft, seat it fully in the groove, then release the pliers so the ends lock into the groove shoulders.

When should I replace these retaining rings?

Replace any ring that shows permanent deformation, cracked ends, corrosion pitting or loss of spring tension that lets it rotate freely in the groove.

What is the first limit reached under sustained vibration?

The ring can work loose if the groove wears or if axial loads exceed the ring’s spring force, allowing the retained component to shift.
