Snap Ring
Bendix

A precise retaining element engineered to secure components along shafts and within grooves, this part maintains axial position under varying operating conditions. Its specified thickness of 2.36 mm, inner diameter of 26.19 mm, and shaft diameter of 28.57 mm establish a tight, repeatable seating that preserves alignment and minimizes end-play. In the field, the retaining element prevents undesired migration of collars, gears, or housings, reducing wear, heat generation, and potential seal degradation caused by movement. The mounting geometry supports compatibility with standard grooves and mating parts across typical wheel-end and drive-line configurations, promoting reliable performance across a broad range of models. The VMRS code 013-001-069 identifies its function within the shaft retention and securing family, while category 42848 anchors it within axle and suspension assemblies. There are no cross references provided, but the part commonly appears alongside grooves, snap features, and compatible retainers to form a complete retention system. Safety and handling instructions align with industry best practices for small-diameter retaining components.
