External Circlip
External Circlip
Circlips are fasteners that, when built in a groove, grab components or installations onto a part shaft, or in a bore. The exposed portion serves as a shoulder to retain the specific element or installation once it has been fixed.
- Normally External circlips are axially assembled over shaft
- Available as per IS3075 Part-1 standard and DIN471 standard

Description and Types
External circlips are a type of fastener used to secure mechanical elements or bearings in rotatory assemblies. They come in various designs and materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. These circlips are characterized by their curved beams of uniform strength, radial width, and circular frame, making them suitable for continuous use in extreme temperatures. The axially fitted circlips have grooves that act as shafts, ensuring a secure and reliable operation. Whether you need a circlip for high-stress environments or for applications requiring precise fit, there is a type to meet your needs.
Applications and Industries
Circlips are indispensable in a multitude of industries, including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, medical equipment, and consumer products. They play a crucial role in applications where parts need to turn, spin, or pivot, such as in bearings. The use of circlips in bearing part ensures secure and reliable operation, reduces wear and tear on bearings and other components, improves performance and efficiency, and extends the lifespan of equipment and machinery. Their versatility and reliability make them a preferred choice across various sectors.
Installation and Removal
Installing circlips involves placing them in a groove on the shaft or in a bore, where they are secured by the radial force applied to the circlip. This force prevents the assembly from loosening, even at high rotational speeds. To install and remove a circlip, specialized circlip pliers are used to grip and pull it out of the groove. It is crucial to use the correct type of pliers to avoid damaging the circlip or the surrounding material. Proper installation and removal techniques ensure the longevity and effectiveness of the circlip in its application.
Materials and Properties
Circlips are manufactured from a range of materials, including stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel. These materials provide excellent corrosion resistance and allow for use in extreme temperatures. The mechanical properties of circlips include high strength, durability, and resistance to fatigue, ensuring they can withstand demanding conditions. Additionally, their electrical properties include high conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The groove thickness, ring diameter and shaft diameter are critical dimensions that must be carefully selected to ensure a proper fit and function, contributing to the overall reliability of the circlip.
Safety Precautions
When handling circlips, it is essential to take safety precautions to avoid injury. Circlips can may cause cuts or puncture wounds if not handled carefully. It is recommended to wear protective gloves and eyewear when working with circlips. Additionally, circlips should be maintained and stored in a dry and clean environment to prevent corrosion and damage. Following proper procedures during installation or removal is crucial to avoid damaging the surrounding material or causing injury to oneself or others. By adhering to these safety measures, you can ensure a safe and efficient use of circlips in any application.
