Salient Features of External Circlips :
• They may be used to replace nuts, threaded sleeves, cotter pin, rivets, set collars, machined shoulders and many bulkier and more expensive fastening devices.
• As circlips are installed in pre-cut grooves, these pre-cut grooves can often be machined simultaneously with other production process; they eliminate threading, tapping, drilling, and other costly machining operations.
• Speed of assembly and disassembly further reduces manufacturing costs.
• Space saving, compared to contemporary methods.
• Reduces assembly weight.
• Longer service life.
Material of External Circlips :
All the Circlips are manufactured from spring steel of grade such as 70C6 or 75C6 confirming to IS: 2507 - 1975 specification for cold rolled steel strips for springs (first revision).
Surface Finish of External Circlips :
Unless the purchaser specifies any alternative finish, the circlip shall be chemically or thermally blackened.
Quality Assurance:
All circlips are thoroughly inspected for parameters like circlips thickness, internal diameter, conical deformation, spiral flatness, hardness and function like set and grip.
