CIRCLIPS
Circlips (DIN 471) are retaining rings mounted in a groove on a shaft OD. They withstand high axial forces between machine elements (e.g. bearings) and the groove in which the ring is mounted.
Circlips are commonly used in motors, turbines and pistons.Circlips fit into a groove on the inside of a bore or the outside of a shaft.
The open ends of the circlip create a spring pressure effect which allows them to fit securely into a grooved channel on a circular component. The pressure created by the spring will vary, depending on the thickness and diameter of the circlip.
