Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics - Bearings and Tolerance Rings Tabbed Tolerance Rings RENCOL® HVT

RENCOL® HV tabbed rings have extra parts of material that extend at 90° off the plannish. These tabs help to prevent the tolerance ring "walking out" in high vibration environments. The RENCOL® Tolerance Ring is a precision spring steel device, comprising a thin strip into which corrugations, or waves, are formed, each of which will act as a spring. This strip is then rolled into a ring. Within the elastic limit of the waves that make up a tolerance ring, simple spring theory applies i.e. Force (N) -- F = K · c
