They act as the retaining ring in bores and other applications in which radial and centrifugal force is applied to the assembly. The purpose of the e clips is to restrict the loosening of the components due to the rapid rotational motion.
External Circlips
Diameter
From 8MM - Upto 200MM
These fasteners are made with curved beams of uniform strength. Towards the free ends, the radial width is reduced to ensure that a circular frame is maintained for continuous use.
Internal Circlips
Diameter
From 8MM - Upto 200MM
They are mostly used in applications in which a centrifugal force is applied along the assembly's axis. The circlips are inserted into grooves and are used to create a shoulder to retain the assembly.
