RENCOL® Tolerance Ring Styles

  

RENCOL® HV Style Tolerance Ring| Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Housing Variable
Tolerance Rings

The RENCOL® HV style ring is "open" in the free state so that when installed inside a bore, the ring will conform to that bore and be self retaining. The ring sits in the housing with waves on the inside to be compressed by the outer diameter of the mating part.

RENCOL® Housing Variable
Light Tolerance Rings

The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring HVL style may be described as a very light duty HV style ring. It is often characteristic of this ring to not have a circular shape in free state. This ring is generally used as a bearing mount where bearings are required to 'float' axially.
 
RENCOL® Housing Variable   Tabbed Tolerance Rings | Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Housing Variable
Tabbed Tolerance Rings

RENCOL® HV tabbed rings have extra parts of material that extend at 90° off the planish. These tabs help to prevent the tolerance ring "walking out" in high vibration environments.
 
RENCOL® Shaft Variable Tolerance Rings | Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Shaft Variable
Tolerance Rings

RENCOL® SV style rings have a free-state diameter smaller than the shaft diameter over which they are to be installed, so that when mounted to the shaft, the rings conform to and become self-retaining on the shaft. The ring sits on the shaft with waves on the outside to be compressed by the bore of the housing.
 
 
RENCOL® Multiplex Tolerance Rings| Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Multiplex
Tolerance Rings

These are RENCOL® single piece rings, but with two or three sets of waves in parallel giving increased performance. This simplifies the machining requirements on mating components.
 
RENCOL® Flanged Tolerance Ring | Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Flanged
Tolerance Rings

RENCOL® HV ring with flanged end (a protruding rim that surrounds the circumference of the material) used for axial control or limiter, for example in steering column collapse mechanisms.
 
RENCOL Crown Tolerance Rings | Saint-Gobain

RENCOL® Crown
Tolerance Rings

A RENCOL® crown ring can be a SV or HV style ring with fingers instead of waves. These fingers are designed to withstand large tolerances and absorb vibrations/movement. This type of ring is generally used for large radial clearances of less than or equal to 3mm.
