SNAP RING EXTERNAL 2.25 DIA. (Genie GN18717)

GN18717: A damaged retaining ring can allow a shaft-mounted component to shift or disengage during operation. The Genie catalog reference GN18717 identifies this aftermarket replacement part as a snap ring, external type, with a 2.25-inch diameter. Its plain mechanical function is to seat into a groove on a shaft to secure a bearing or other part in place. A common failure consequence is that a worn or missing ring may cause the retained part to slide off, leading to sudden mechanical separation. During service, a snap ring should be inspected for deformation or breakage that could compromise retention. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
