The fan retainer - clamping ring for BG 90 is a mounting component used to securely hold and retain the fan in the device assembly. In pressure washer service work it is used when correct seating of the rotating part must be restored and the risk of play or movement during operation must be reduced.
MPN / reference: 411182
The clamping ring is used in typical service and assembly work:
Consider replacing the ring when the following appear:
Selection of the clamping ring should be unambiguous:
For fan-retaining components, geometry and clamping force compatibility matters because it directly affects system stability.
The ring should be selected based on MPN 411182 and compatibility with the BG 90 assembly. Do not select a part only by the generic name “clamping ring”, because differences in diameter and clamp type determine correct fastening.

What is the function of the clamping ring in fan retention?|It keeps the component in the correct position and provides secure clamping so the fan does not move and no play develops during operation.
Can a damaged ring cause fan noise?|Yes. A loose mounting can generate vibration and noise, especially at higher RPM. Before replacement, it’s worth ruling out other causes such as bearings or an impeller/rotor issue.
Can the clamping ring be reused after disassembly?|It depends on the condition. If the ring is deformed, shows wear marks, or has lost spring tension, reinstalling it may not provide sufficient clamping.
What should be checked when replacing the ring?|Inspect the fan condition, shaft/axle, seating surfaces, and any rubbing marks. Damaged surfaces can cause play to return.
How to confirm this is the correct part for BG 90?|Most reliably by manufacturer number MPN 411182 and by comparing with the removed part and the assembly service documentation.
