490-3999: Rotor Retainer

Description: A rotor retainer is a component used in rotary engines to hold the rotor in place. Rotary engines, also known as Wankel engines, use a rotor instead of traditional pistons to generate power. The rotor retainer is a small metal clip that fits onto the end of the rotor and holds it securely onto the shaft. Attributes: • Designed to withstand high temperatures. • Holds the rotor securely in place. • Designed to withstand stress. Applications: A rotor retainer is an essential component in the operation of a rotary engine because a rotary engine can come loose and cause serious damage to the engine. It is extensively used in Cat 312 Engine (Piston), 312, 313, 313D, 315, 316, 317, 318, 320, 323, 324, 325, 326, 330, 333, 335, 336, 336F, 340, 345, 349, 349D, 350, 352, 355, 528, 538, 548, 558, and 568 Excavators, MD6640 Drills, MH3250, and MH3260 Material Handler.
