LR CIRCLIPS is a leading manufacturer and supplier of circlips. Circlips are also known as retaining rings, snap rings, C-clip or Jesus clip, is a type of mechanical fastener which is a vital element for many assembly-related uses. They are typically circular and have a split at one point, enabling them to be installed or removed easily without the usage of special tools.
Circlips are advanced fastners which takeup less space and are easier to install. They should have a good spring action and hardness as essential properties. Circlips act as a simple effective way to secure parts and place, like bearings or gears, preventing them from sliding of a shaft or out of a hole.
Circlips are light weight, compact and cost effective alternatives to more complex fastners like nuts and bolts. They are used in a wide variety of applications, including automotive, aerospace and manufacturing. There are two main types of Circlips i.e. Internal Circlips and External Circlips.
Types of Circlips
External Circlips
These circlips are also known as A-type circlips and it is a type of a fastener fitted on to the outside of a shaft.
Internal Circlips
These circlips are also known as B-type circlips and it is a type of a fastener which is pushed in to bore with a groove with the help of a plier exerting inward pressure.
Shim
It is a thin strip of material used to allign or fit a part, additionally to reduce wear and tear.
