Circlips

Circlips are used to prevent lateral movement. They are used as retaining rings on bearing assemblies and are manufactured using semi-flexible metal ring. These products are in a shape of a circle with a clip and are open from one end.

Constructed as curved beams of uniform strength, the radial width is reduced towards the free ends so that a constantly round shape is maintained throughout continuous use. This form of circlip often used in assemblies subjected to strong centrifugal forces, is also secure against high rotational speeds. Lugs with holes are provided for rapid fitting or removal with circlip pliers.

Circlips now available in High Strength and Corrosion Resistance Aerospace Grade.

SS 1.4532-Aero Grade provides exceptional strength combined with Corrosion resistance that is essential for the Aerospace industry.

The following types are available:
