Re: Retainer Ring Shaft Tolerance

The answer to that is yes. Your tolerance stackup will inevitably lead to it being impossible for you to get the 2nd snap ring on without some slop.

You do not want that slop to be in the groove though. You should cut the groove .039 like McMaster says. Just add in .005-.010 to the distance between grooves.
Yes this is what I was looking for... thank you! I should have been more clear... my example is that we are designing a new transmission and the tolerance stack up of all the gears, sprockets, bearings, frame, wheel, etc along the main output shaft may add up to the point that the end ring wouldn't fit. There is a spacer we could shave down to most likely solve any issues but wanted to avoid having to machine a longer output shaft. We then started to wonder about the tolerance stack up for a simple WCD axle (sprocket, bearings, wheel, etc). I couldn't find any manufacturing tolerances for most of the parts to make an estimation of what a worst case would be. 0.005-0.010" sounds good.
