Seeger Grip Rings

Seeger retaining systems can only fulfill their function if they are assembled perfectly. During assembly, the ring is mostly subjected to higher stresses than during later operation. Improper assembly damages the ring and/or the groove. These rings are equipped with assembly holes and are mostly fitted and dismantled using special pliers. It is important to use the plier suitable for each single ring. "During assembly, a Seeger-Ring should be expanded or closed only to the extent necessary to pass over the shaft or into the bore. The shaft and bore must be of the same nominal diameter as the ring".
