An External Bowed E-Clip is a small ring with bowed legs resembling the letter "E". It is made to fit into a groove on a shaft or inside a bore. Their springy legs exert outward pressure, creating a shoulder that prevents components from moving along the shaft or bore axis.

Attributes:
• Manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability and reliability
• Prevents unwanted movement and maintains component positioning

Applications:
The Bowed E-Clip is used to retain or hold the components in a Turbocharger. When installed in the groove, the E-clip's bowed legs compress slightly, creating a tight fit. This tension generates friction against the groove and a shoulder effect, limiting the axial movement of the component.
