Snap ring for Link-Belt 12-08

The snap ring is a mechanical fastener used to secure the position of components on a shaft or within a housing. By seating into a machined groove, it prevents axial movement of parts such as bearings, gears, or bushings, ensuring they remain firmly in their intended location within the machine assembly.

This component is compatible with Link-Belt 12-08, Link-Belt LS 318, Manitowoc 12-08, and Manitowoc LS 318 equipment. It is designed to meet the fitment requirements for these specific models. The part number for this snap ring is CC14.

In heavy machinery, snap rings serve as a primary method for retaining rotating or stationary elements. They are installed in either internal grooves for housing applications or external grooves for shaft applications. Their function is to maintain the mechanical integrity of transmission, drivetrain, or slewing systems by locking parts in place, which prevents misalignment and ensures smooth operation of the sub-assemblies during equipment use.
