Product Information

Applications are discussed in-depth, first-off design data and drawings are submitted for approval to ensure our customers are provided with the correct design, first time. However, on those rare occasions when modifications are necessary, our no-tooling process and flexible manufacturing procedures means the production of prototypes is easily and economically achieved without onerous tooling charges and long lead times. A circlip (a portmanteau of "circle" and "clip"), also known as a C-clip, rotor clip, snap ring, or Jesus clip, [1] is a type of fastener or retaining ring consisting of a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends that can be snapped into place into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to permit rotation but to prevent axial movement. There are two basic types of circlips: internal (fitted into a bore) and external (fitted over a shaft). Circlips are often used to secure pinned connections. Individual pairs of snap ring pliers are usually made to work only with circlips of certain specific diameters. Although C-clips can come in a fairly wide range of sizes, they’re most often sold around a more limited range of ‘standard’ gauges. These tend to be found in far more widespread use than other, non-standard varieties and sizes. When measuring the size of an external circlip, you should measure the nominal size of the groove diameter. Do not measure the shaft diameter as this will result in an inaccurate measurement when comparing external circlip sizes. How Do You Measure Internal Circlip Size? We would love to keep in touch with relevant information which we feel would be of interest to you?

Once again, ensure you’re only exerting enough pressure on the retaining ring to slip it into the required position around the outside of the shaft or dowel (too much force can damage or break it) Industrial or heavy-duty snap ring pliers tend to be used for larger machinery assembly and repairs. They’re usually manufactured to a high grade from toughened materials, such as heat-treated steel, and may have galvanised tips for increased hardness.

You should then fit the plier tips into the holes on the ends of the retaining ring to be installed

When used to retain piston wrist pins or gudgeon pins, the clips are known as wrist pin clips, wrist pin retainers, or gudgeon pin clips. The most commonly used circlip for this application is a simple spring steel circlip, or plain wire ring.

Angled or bent circlip pliers can give you better access when working in space-restricted or harder-to-reach areas. You can buy circlip plier tips that are bent at a fairly diverse range of angles, but by far the most popular is 45 degrees and 90 degrees.

They’re also handy for inserting and removing C-clips in harder-to-reach places. Circlips are small, semi-flexible metal rings. They are a type of fastener and are also known as C-clips, Seeger rings, snap rings or Jesus clips. If you’re looking for a better range while cleaning those tough surfaces, this pressure washer spray hand gun could be the ideal accessory to your Karcher pressure washer. Since most snap rings are stamped from sheet steel, one side is slightly rounded and the other has sharp, rough edges. This is due to the stamping die behaving like a cookie cutter and causing a slight rounding of the upper edge of the cut clip. The snap ring must always be installed such that force is transmitted to the retaining groove from the rounded side of the ring, not the rough or square-edged side. If a snap ring is positioned such that its flat side is pressed into the rounded edge of the groove, then when load or force is applied, the flat edge of the snap ring will "bite" into the rounded edge of the retaining groove. The snap ring will distort and ride up the rounded edge, spreading an external snap ring and compressing an internal snap ring. This leaves the clip prone to being forced out of its groove and failing at its retaining function. The accompanying images illustrate the correct orientation of the snap ring in its groove. Wet or dry lubrication is recommended to reduce friction against the circlip and maintain function.
