The Smalley VSM-90 is an external spiral retaining ring designed for axial retention on a 90.00 mm shaft in a machined groove. Spiral rings provide full 360° contact (no lugs/ears), helping distribute load evenly and maintain a low-profile retaining solution in mechanical assemblies.


This ring is specified with a groove diameter of 87.66 ± 0.15 mm and a groove width of 1.12 mm (+0.08 / -0.00). Dimensions shown include 0.99 ± 0.05 mm thickness, 4.78 ± 0.13 mm radial wall, 1 turn, and no crimp. Performance values listed include 81,058 N ring shear (safety factor 3) and 51,319 N groove yield (based on 45,000 psi groove material yield strength and safety factor 2). For rotational-dependent applications, Smalley recommends contacting an engineer.
