Traditional fasteners like screws, bolts, cotter pins, nuts, washers, and more need additional machining steps like threading, tapping, drilling, and more.   Since the grooves can be machined using various manufacturing methods, production costs can be drastically reduced. They are more compact and practical than their more traditional alternatives.   Retaining Ring Types   When it comes to retaining rings, there are four primary categories:   Tapered Section Retaining Rings   Retaining rings with a tapered part shrink symmetrically from the centre to the free ends and maintain the
