Internal Circlip
Internal Circlip
Internal circlips are holding rings that are used to hold mechanical components or bearings in bores and other rotating assemblies. Axially fitted circlips are essential fasteners in various applications, known for their grooves and large free diameters that enhance their fit and thrust load capacity. They are used in situations where a centrifugal force is exerted along the axis of the assembly.
- Normally Internal circlips are axially assembled inside a bore
- Available as per IS3075 Part-2 standard and DIN472 standard

What are Internal Circlips?
Internal circlips are a type of retaining ring used to secure mechanical elements or bearings in bores and other rotating assemblies. They are designed to fit inside a groove in a bore, providing a constant radial force to hold the assembly in place. Internal circlips are commonly used in applications where a centrifugal force is applied along the assembly’s axis. They are an essential component in many mechanical assemblies, providing a reliable and secure way to retain mechanical parts.
Materials and Properties
Internal circlips are typically made from high-quality materials, including carbon spring steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel. These materials provide excellent corrosion resistance and durability, making internal circlips suitable for use in harsh environments. The material properties of internal circlips ensure that they can withstand high-strength applications and extreme heat and cold conditions without losing their electrical or mechanical properties.
Design and Installation
Internal circlips have a flattened body with equal width throughout and open ends. They are designed to fit into grooves in a bore, providing a shoulder to retain the assembly. The groove diameter is a critical dimension, and the holes in the circlips are used for installation and removal. Lugs with holes are provided for rapid fitting or removal with circlip pliers. The design of internal circlips allows for easy installation and removal, making them a convenient option for many applications.
Applications and Benefits
Internal circlips are used in a variety of industrial, commercial, and domestic applications, including pistons, turbines, and motors. They function as a load-bearing shoulder to hold mechanical parts in position, providing a constant radial force. The benefits of using internal circlips include their ability to withstand high-strength applications, extreme temperatures, and harsh environments. They are also easy to install and remove, making them a convenient option for many applications. Additionally, internal circlips are available in various dimensions, including diameters ranging from 8mm to 300mm and thicknesses from 0.8mm to 5mm, making them suitable for a wide range of applications
