What Is The Purpose Of The Circlip?

Circlips are used in related parts and equipment. Simply put, the purpose of the circlip is to play a fixed role. To be specific, the purpose of the circlip is to installed in shaft groove or hole groove of the machine or equipment to prevent the axial movement of parts in the shaft or hole.

The fixing of the parts on the shaft is divided into axial fixation and circumferential fixing. Axial fixation methods include shaft shoulder or shaft ring fixation, shaft end ring or conical surface fixation, shaft sleeve fixation, round nut fixation, and elastic retaining ring fixation.

The circlip is actually the retaining ring, the retaining ring is mainly used for axial fixation, the conical surface and the retaining ring are fixed to have higher centering degree. The retaining ring is often used in rolling bearings. The retaining ring in the rolling bearing is equivalent to a movable edge, which is used to block the roller. It is very convenient to install. Although the effect is simple, it is very critical, which will directly affect the operation and use effect of the whole bearing group.
