The 18 mm external retaining ring beside the 17 mm and the 19 mm

The 18 mm is number 16, counting from the smallest, of the 18 DIN 471 external retaining rings published here, from 3 mm to 20 mm.

• Ring thickness (s): 1.2 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 1 mm on the 17 mm and 1.2 mm on the 19 mm.
• Ring thickness, limits (s_lim): 1.14 to 1.2 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 0.94 to 1 mm on the 17 mm and 1.14 to 1.2 mm on the 19 mm.
• Free diameter (d3): 16.5 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 15.7 mm on the 17 mm and 17.5 mm on the 19 mm.
• Free diameter, limits (d3_lim): 16.14 to 16.6 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 15.34 to 15.8 mm on the 17 mm and 17.14 to 17.6 mm on the 19 mm.
• Lug height (a): up to 3.9 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against up to 3.8 mm on the 17 mm and up to 3.9 mm on the 19 mm.
• Radial width (b): 2.4 mm (reference) on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 2.3 mm (reference) on the 17 mm and 2.5 mm (reference) on the 19 mm.
• Plier hole diameter (d5): at least 2 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against at least 1.7 mm on the 17 mm and at least 2 mm on the 19 mm.
• Groove diameter (d2): 17 mm on the 18 mm external retaining ring, against 16.2 mm on the 17 mm and 18 mm on the 19 mm.
