CleanMax CM-WAV Snap Ring 30507

The CleanMax CM-WAV Snap Ring (part# 30507) is a retaining snap ring on the CM-WAV wide-area vacuum that locks a shaft or bearing in position, keeping a rotating or sliding component from walking out of its bore.

This is a genuine Tacony hardware item used on the CleanMax CM-WAV. The same size fastener may appear on other Tacony machines; call 763-535-0770 if you would like us to confirm the exact part for your model.

What the Snap Ring does

The snap ring seats in a groove and acts as a mechanical stop, holding a shaft, wheel, or bearing captive so it cannot drift axially under load. It is small but critical — without it, the part it retains can work loose and disable the assembly. On the CM-WAV it keeps its component located precisely where the design intends.

Signs the Snap Ring needs replacing

Replace the snap ring if it is sprung open, deformed, or corroded so it no longer grips its groove, or if it was removed during service (snap rings are often single-use once expanded). A component that has developed axial play, a clicking noise, or has partly walked out of its bore points to a snap ring that has lost its grip and should be renewed with the correct part.

Installation and fit

Using snap-ring pliers, remove the old ring, then seat the new 30507 ring fully into its groove so it snaps home and sits flush all the way around. Confirm the retained part no longer has axial play before returning the machine to service. Twin City Vacuum has sold and serviced CleanMax equipment since 1956, and every part is sourced directly from Tacony. Browse more CleanMax parts, or learn more at CleanMax.
