Circlips

Circlips (retaining rings) are securing elements intended for axial retention of components in mechanical assemblies. They belong to the category of seals and securing elements and are used to prevent longitudinal displacement of parts in assemblies.

This type of retaining ring has a ring-shaped form and is designed to be fitted into corresponding grooves, where it creates a mechanical stop against the movement of parts. The selection of an appropriate design depends on the assembly's structural arrangement and the requirements for retention.

Circlips are used in a wide range of mechanical applications where it is necessary to secure the axial position of components without complex fastening elements. In this category you will find basic information about their purpose and design principle to facilitate their selection for a project or repair.
