     Also known as reinforced E-style rings, these rings are reinforced to withstand faster rotation than other side-mount retaining rings. Use a side-mount retaining ring tool (sold separately) to push them into the groove from the side of the shaft. They fit in the same grooves as standard E-style rings. Ring OD is measured with the ring uninstalled.1060-1090 spring steel is an economical choice with good strength. Rings with a black-phosphate finish are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments. Rings with a zinc yellow-chromate plated finish have some corrosion resistance in wet environments.15-7 PH stainless steel rings are high strength with good corrosion resistance. Rings are passivated for added protection against corrosion.Beryllium copper rings conduct electricity and have excellent corrosion resistance. Do not use beryllium copper rings in direct contact with acetylene.Thrust load capacity, also known as PR, is based on using a shaft that is harder than the ring.
