ESAB External Retaining Ring 3/8 Inch (5-Pack)

Keep Your ESAB Welder Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than a small, inexpensive part shutting down your entire welding operation. The ESAB 93W85 External Retaining Ring is one of those small but mighty components that keeps your machine together. Designed specifically for 3/8-inch shafts, these rings are often found in wire feeders, holding drive rolls, gears, and other moving parts securely in place. If a snap ring fails or goes missing during a roll change, your wire feeding can become erratic or stop altogether, bringing your productivity to a halt.

This package contains five genuine ESAB retaining rings, giving you the peace of mind that comes with having backup parts in your toolbox. We've all been there—you pop a snap ring off with a screwdriver because you can't find your pliers, and it flies across the shop, never to be seen again. With this 5-pack, you have spares ready to go immediately. Because these are genuine ESAB parts, you don't have to worry about them being too loose or made of soft metal that bends and fails. They are made of hardened spring steel, designed to snap firmly into the groove and stay there until you decide to remove them.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with machine maintenance. Using a pair of external snap ring pliers, simply expand the ring just enough to slide it over the end of the shaft and release it into the groove. The ring provides a solid stop that prevents your drive rolls or gears from walking off the shaft while the motor is spinning. Don't let a missing clip compromise your weld quality or damage your expensive equipment.

Whether you are a professional fabricator maintaining your own rig or a shop manager responsible for a fleet of ESAB machines, stocking up on these essential consumables is a smart move. They are the exact replacement for the original part, ensuring a perfect fit every time. Keep your wire feeding smooth and your machine internals secure with the ESAB 93W85 retaining rings.
