DIN6799 SUS304 65Mn Black“E"Rings/Lock Washers (Retaining Washers For Shafts) Φ5-Φ10 A2-70

"E" rings (also known as lock washers or shaft lock washers) have the following characteristics, advantages, and applications:

Characteristics:

1. The E-ring features a spring-loaded design with a built-in spring mechanism, enabling it to fit tightly onto shafts and provide a stable locking force.
2. Easy installation: "E" rings can be easily installed by simply compressing or expanding them, without the need for special tools.
3. With its open design, the "E" ring exhibits high flexibility and strong adjustability, enabling it to adapt to shafts of varying diameters effortlessly.
4. Material diversity: "E" rings can be made from various materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, etc., to suit different working environments and load requirements.

Advantages:

1. High reliability: The spring-loaded design of "E" rings provides constant locking force, maintaining shaft stability even under vibration or shock conditions.
2. Quick installation and removal: Compared to other locking methods, the installation and removal process of "E" rings is simpler and faster, improving work efficiency.
3. Strong adaptability: Due to their adjustability, "E" rings can fit different shaft diameters, reducing inventory costs and simplifying management.
4. Reusable: "E" rings can be reused, lowering maintenance costs.

Applications:

1. Shaft locking: The most common application of "E" rings is to lock shafts, preventing axial movement or rotation. This is crucial in many mechanical systems such as transmission systems, engines, pumps, etc.
2. Gear and bearing fixation: "E" rings can also be used to fix gears and bearings, ensuring they do not shift during operation.
3. Fixation of other rotating components: Besides shafts, gears, and bearings, "E" rings can also be used to fix other rotating components that require prevention of movement.
