RENCOL® Tolerance Ring Materials

Materials and Dimensions

Normally Tolerance Rings and Strip are supplied in either Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel but can also be supplied in Inconel, Monel, Incalloy, Phynox, Copper-Beryllium and other suitable materials.

Hardness affects the point at which material will yield (elastic limit): For special OEM designs we can heat treat carbon steel to a variety of hardness levels to achieve the desired characteristics. Varying grades of other material hardness can be used to obtain the desired characteristics.

Many thousands of specifications for different RENCOL® tolerance rings exist. The table indicates typical combinations only. We often create specific designs for high volume applications. Rings of 300mm+ diameter are routinely produced. Beyond this tolerance strips can be supplied (10 or 50m coils) for cutting and fitting as required.
