The Q433 standard deals with flat steel wire retaining rings, which are resilient retaining rings used on shafts or in bores to secure parts against movement in axial or radial directions. These retaining rings are typically made of carbon, stainless or alloy steel and may have a surface treatment, such as zinc plating or blackening, to improve corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

Carbon Steel: Typically used for general applications.

Stainless Steel: For environments where corrosion resistance is required.

Alloy Steels: Used in applications requiring high strength or high temperature resistance.

Advantage:

SIMPLE AND RELIABLE: The flat steel wire retaining ring is simple in structure, easy to install and remove, providing reliable fixing and anti-loosening function. Elastic design: this retaining ring has good elasticity and can adapt to certain installation errors and thermal expansion of parts. Corrosion resistance: Surface treatments such as galvanization can improve the corrosion resistance of the retaining ring, making it suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.

Scope of Application

Machinery and equipment manufacturing: In machinery and equipment manufacturing, for fixing and adjusting machine parts such as bearings, gears and motors. Automotive industry: In automotive manufacturing, for connecting automotive components, such as chassis and body fixings. Building and civil engineering: in building and civil engineering, for connecting beams, columns and other structural components, providing stable and reliable connections.
