Circlip clips, also known as snap rings, are indispensable components used in a wide range of mechanical applications to retain bearings, seals, and other parts in place. This guide provides a thorough understanding of circlip clips, including their types, materials, selection criteria, and installation techniques. By mastering the knowledge presented here, engineers can achieve optimal performance and reliability in their designs.
Internal Circlip Clips:
- Fit inside a groove on a shaft or housing
- Available in various sizes and thicknesses
External Circlip Clips:
- Fit outside a groove on a shaft or housing
- Provide greater holding force than internal circlip clips
Special Purpose Circlip Clips:
- Designed for specific applications, such as high-temperature or corrosion-resistant environments
Installation Tools:
- Circlip Pliers: Specialized pliers designed to install and remove circlip clips
- Circlip Installation Hammer: Used to gently tap the circlip clip into place
