RING (Linde LI14173)

A worn retaining ring can allow assembled components to separate during operation, leading to mechanical failure. This aftermarket replacement part references Linde as the OE maker and cross-references part number LI14173. The retaining ring functions as a fastener that holds components in a fixed position on a shaft or within a bore. Its plain mechanical role is to seat into a groove and prevent axial movement of the installed part. A common generic failure consequence is that a broken or missing ring can cause the retained part to dislodge, potentially damaging surrounding assemblies. During routine service, a technician may find a retaining ring has lost tension or become deformed. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
