Product Information
A circlip (short for “circular clip”) is a type of fastener used to secure components on a shaft or inside a bore, preventing lateral movement while allowing rotation.
How It Works:
Circlips are made of spring steel and are designed to fit into a groove machined into a shaft or housing. Once snapped into place, they act as a shoulder to keep components like bearings, gears, or wheels from sliding out of position.
Types of Circlips:
External Circlip – Fits around a shaft.
Prevents components from sliding off the shaft.
Internal Circlip – Fits inside a bore or housing.
Prevents parts from being pushed into the housing.
Key Features:
Easy to install and remove with circlip pliers.
Reusable in many cases.
Lightweight, yet strong enough for high-speed or heavy-duty applications.
Often used where space is limited and you don’t want to use nuts or bolts.
Common Applications:
Automotive transmissions
Gear assemblies
Bearings and shafts
Hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders
Bicycles and machinery
