C-Rings from Hell

C-Rings from Hell

C-Rings from Hell

(OP)
Hello out there!  Hoping to get some peer feedback regarding a 300 series steel spring.  Specifically, this piece looks like a 7 mm wide donut with a 75 degree bite taken from it.  The inner diameter is 6 mm.  I need about 50 C hardness. I am prototyping some window hardware and I must find about 100 of them.  Firstly, what are these called?  I've heard C-rings, lock washers, and snap rings.  MSC, McMaster, didn't seem to have them, though I do have a query pending.  Does this sound like a custom job to you or can I buy them off the shelf?  Thanks so much for your time and efforts!!! This site is amazing.

Sincerely,

SpringMan(in training)

Check with the manufacturer: truarc.com

The truarc products are not a constant cross section, like a donut would have had...  I did find what i was looking for.  For those interested i was describing a constant section retaining ring.  Go to www. arconring.com... Thanks for your time everybody!
