DIN 6799 radial retaining ring (E-clip)
DIN 6799 is the standard for radially fitted retaining rings, known as E-clips or retaining washers for shafts. The ring is pushed on from the side, without passing over the shaft end, and grips the groove at three points. Fitting is very fast, which makes it ideal for high-volume production lines.
ApplicationShafts with side access only
FittingRadial, by hand or with an applicator

How to specify
- Groove diameter. In DIN 6799 the ring size is the groove size, not the shaft size. Check the shaft range for each size in the datasheet.
- Axial load. Radially fitted rings generally carry more moderate axial loads than DIN 471 rings.
- Material. Spring steel as standard; stainless 1.4122 or bronze depending on the environment.
