DIN 471 External Retaining Rings (for Shafts)

Metric external retaining rings to DIN 471 — thin, circular stamped circlips assembled axially into a groove machined on the outside of a shaft, in A2 stainless steel, nominal shaft diameters sampled from 4 mm to 210 mm in the collected table (table spans d1 = 3–300 mm).

DIN 471 External Retaining Rings (for Shafts) in an industrial setting
Illustrative image redrawn from real product references — not a photograph of stocked items.

Specifications

DIN 471 external retaining rings (aka circlips) are thin, circular metal stampings that prevent movement between mating components: the ring is assembled axially onto a shaft and seats into a groove machined on the outside of the shaft, reducing vibration and holding two parts in position while permitting easy disassembly by removing the ring. The collected specification sheet attributes A2 stainless steel to the rings and notes that DIN 471 has no ISO equivalent, so the DIN designation remains the ordering vocabulary. The sheet's dimension table spans nominal shaft diameters d1 = 3 through 300 mm; the rows below are quoted verbatim at named sizes. Each row also carries the groove data a drawing needs — groove diameter d2 (with the H13 tolerance band the sheet prints for the groove column) and groove width m — plus the sheet's supplementary load columns, which are quoted as whole rows because the extracted layout does not support per-cell attribution.

Groove diameter tolerance H13 band printed for the d2 groove column (per-size band markers h10 / h11 / h12 / h13 appear on smaller sizes in the sheet)
Installation Axial assembly into a machined groove on the outside of the shaft; the sheet also lists the nominal size of pliers per DIN 5254 per size band
Load data The sheet tabulates supplementary load columns (FN, FR, FRg, nabl) per size; the extracted layout does not support per-cell attribution, so these are quoted as whole rows on request rather than rendered as labeled figures

DIN 471 (D1400 series) external metric retaining rings for shafts — circlip and groove dimensions, 3–400 mmMillimetres. Shaft diameter ladder 3–400 mm with ring thickness t, free diameter D, groove dimensions (C/C1 groove diameters, L groove length, b groove depth ~, h edge distance min), groove diameter G with its tolerance band, groove width W, n min (groove corner radius factor), d~ (groove entry chamfer ~), approximate weight per 1000 pieces in kg, Tc/Tg load ratings in newtons, and the circlip plier series. The source merges tolerance cells across row groups — a tolerance value printed on one row applies to the whole group until the next printed value (see anomaly note).

  • Row 1 (D1400-3): Tolerance fragmentation: the source merges tolerance spans down groups of rows (e.g. "0 / -0.04" prints once around D1400-5..-6, "0.08 / -0.15" around D1400-8..-14). Empty tolerance cells inherit the nearest printed band above; values reproduced verbatim, never interpolated.
  • Row 14 (D1400-16): Source prints the plier series across grouped rows ("Mini A", "Mini B", "HA 1 / HB 1", "HA 2 / HB 2", "HA 3 / HB 3", "MAJOR 88", "MAJOR X 88") — the plier column on a row names the tooling for its group, printed where the source breaks the group.
  • Row 18 (D1400-20): D1400-38 prints shaft "38" while the ladder runs 36→38→40 as printed; D1400-36 prints C/C1 as "34.0"/"1.85" decimals — both reproduced verbatim.
  • Row 26 (D1400-28): D1400-65 row: groove width prints "2.65" and Tg shows a lighter value pattern around D1400-125..-130 (62800/96500) breaking the otherwise rising Tg ladder — as printed; verify load figures against DIN 471 for critical design.

Materials

  • A2 stainless steel

Ordering & documentation

Documents

Shipments are backed by Mill Test Certificate (MTC), Dimensional Report, Salt Spray Test Report on request, with full batch traceability from raw material to finished product. Quality management follows the owner-confirmed compliance list: ISO 9001:2015, RoHS, REACH. Exact document sets are confirmed on the order.

Quotation

  • The fastener family (DIN 471 External Retaining Rings (for Shafts)) plus the standard designation from your drawing — DIN / ISO / JIS / ASTM / ANSI, or a drawing for custom parts.
  • Size (diameter and length), thread type (metric or inch), property class or grade, and coating or finish.
  • Quantity per size and your target delivery date.
  • Destination country, and any required documents (for example a mill test certificate) so the quote includes them.

Sample & supply

Minimum order quantities and lead times for this family are confirmed at quotation — send your sizes, grades and quantities on the RFQ and the quote will carry a firm schedule. Sample availability is confirmed with the quotation.

Storage & shipping

Parts are packed for export and shipped factory-direct to buyers in Europe, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. Store fasteners dry and protected until installation, and keep coated parts in their packaging until use; specific packing and preservation requirements can be stated on the order and confirmed at quotation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I read the groove data for a DIN 471 ring?

Each table row gives the groove diameter d2 and groove width m your drawing must machine into the shaft, with d2 under an H13 tolerance band (smaller sizes carry h10/h11/h12 band markers in the collected sheet). For example, at nominal shaft diameter 16 mm the sheet lists groove d2 = 15.2 mm and width m = 1.1 mm; at 80 mm, d2 = 76.5 mm and m = 2.65 mm. Machine the groove before assembly and quote d2 and m with the shaft diameter on the RFQ.

Why are only some sizes listed with full numbers?

The collected specification sheet tabulates every size from d1 = 3 to 300 mm, but the extracted table mangles many rows (tolerance deviations print on separate lines), so only rows whose token sequence is complete and unambiguous are quoted here — 4, 16, 80 and 210 mm among them. State your shaft diameter on the RFQ and the row for your size is confirmed from the sheet before quotation.

What should an RFQ for these retaining rings state?

State the standard (DIN 471 external for a shaft, or DIN 472 internal for a bore), the shaft or bore nominal diameter, the ring material (the collected sheets attribute A2 stainless steel to the rings), the groove diameter and width your drawing machines, and quantity per size. Commercial terms are confirmed at quotation.
