Circlips & Assorted Kits

Circlips are commonly employed where components must be maintained in place on shafts or housings, as well as with a variety of bearings used in systems that twist, spin, turn, rotate, or pivot. C-clips’ main selling feature is that they allow for simple rotation of shafts and dowel pins when inserted. Because of their distinctive design and shape, they also inhibit lateral (sideways) movement when fitted around a suitable element.

Circlips, rather than having a complete ring, usually have open ends. This open-ended ‘horseshoe’ form provides them with some spring tension. Once installed, the spring pressure effect assures that they do not slide or slip out of place.

The majority of circlips include a small hole in a lug at either end that permits the circlip plier tips to be installed or removed. Circlip pliers, also known as circlip removers, are consequently a necessary piece of equipment for anyone who deals with this sort of fastener on a daily basis.
