SPRING (Komatsu KO3ED-31-41140)

KO3ED-31-41140: A worn retaining ring can allow assembled components to separate under load, leading to mechanical failure. This aftermarket replacement part references Komatsu as the OE maker and cross-references part number KO3ED-31-41140. The spring functions as a retaining ring, applying radial pressure to hold components in a fixed position. A common failure consequence is that a broken or fatigued retaining ring may cause sudden disassembly of the secured parts. During routine service, a technician might find the ring has lost tension or cracked from repeated stress cycles. Keeping a retaining ring in sound condition helps maintain the intended assembly integrity. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
