Re: Retaining Things?
Inside of the gearboxes, things are usually spaced out using spacers to keep them in place. Then retaining rings just go on the ends. Flanges on bearings are usually strategically placed as well, so when a shaft gets pulled against a retaining ring, that pushes against the flange, which usually pushes against something solid. If doing this on both sides of the shaft, it makes it impossible for the shaft to move axially.
