All Rotor Clip carbon steel rings and hose clamps are heat-treated in house using our austempering method. Austempering gives retaining rings their desired strength and ductility while minimizing brittleness. Skilled personnel with rich metallurgical expertise monitor and control every step of Rotor Clip’s in-line heat treatment processes.

This advantage of fast and uniform heating has been successfully applied for quick heating and easy loosening of turbine bolts, generator retaining rings, slip rings, turbine discs etc. Heating of turbine bolts by resistance heating (resistance heating rods inserted in the bolt holes) and by gas heating not only takes time, but also creates ...

The present invention relates to an induction heating system for a retaining ring of a generator which comprises: an induction heater inserted and installed by having a plurality of winding...

The circular shape and the use of OMEGALUX™ utility clamps simplifies the use of ring heaters. Nesting rings to pack heat in a small area can be done by installing rings within each other. For examples: A-651, A-802 and A-903 provide 4050 watts within a 10 31/32" circle.

Timken offers a large assortment of high-quality induction heaters designed for demanding industrial applications. They can heat and radially expand a wide variety of gears, rings, couplings, bearings and other components. Induction heating is a superior, fast and controlled heating method.

Chromalox high density Ring Heaters are available in diameters ranging from 2 1/2" to 11". Suitable for thermal applications to 1200°F (650°C).

Heat Treatment Retaining rings are heat treated using the austempering method. Rings are uniformly heated to temperatures over 1500° F. They are then isothermally quenched in a molten salt bath at 600° F for 35 minutes. This results in parts with a bainite structure characterized by good mechanical properties. Hardness Steel

Compare specific materials for your retaining ring and application. Carbon Spring Steel: This steel is known for its high strength and reliability in retaining ring applications. Since carbon spring steel is subject to corrosion, Rotor Clip treats all such rings with a protective coating to ensure some corrosion resistance.

A retaining ring is a fastener that holds components or assemblies onto a shaft or in a housing/bore when installed-typically in a groove-for one time use only. Once installed, the exposed portion acts as a shoulder which retains the specific component or assembly.
