Circlips

Circlips

Circlips (internal and external) are made from stainless steel to DIN 471(external) or DIN 472 (internal) specifications.

Circlips,  also known as seeger rings are a type of fastener or retaining ring consisting of a semi-flexible stainless steel ring with open ends which can be snapped into place, into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to allow rotation but to stop lateral movement.

We can supply in 2 basic types: internal and external, referring to whether they are fitted into a bore or over a shaft. Circlips oftenly are used to secure pinned connections.
