The following factors need to be considered when choosing a suitable internal circlips:
Size: The size of the internal circlips includes the diameter of the ring, the inner diameter, the outer diameter, and the groove depth, etc., which need to be selected according to relevant standards and specific application requirements. For example, the diameter of the internal circlips should be 1-2mm larger than the diameter of the connector, and the thickness can be selected according to the tightening force and compressibility of the connector.
Material: Internal circlips are generally made of metal, and the common ones are stainless steel and carbon steel. The selection of materials needs to consider their corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and tensile strength. For example, stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for humid or corrosive environments.
Structure: Internal circlips are divided into single-piece and double-piece types. Single-piece retaining rings have only one ring, while double-piece retaining rings consist of two, which can better fix the shaft.
Installation method: The internal circlips can be installed by pressing or knocking in. When installing, the circlip pliers are used to insert the plier's mouth into the clamp hole of the retaining ring, and the retaining ring is clamped and placed in the pre-processed circular hole inner groove.
Application scenario: internal circlips are widely used in various mechanical transmission systems, such as automobiles, machine tools, agricultural machinery, etc. In these fields, it can effectively prevent axial sliding and axial shedding, and improve the stability and reliability of the machinery.
Common models and specifications of internal circlips: Common internal circlips models include type A and type B. Type A is made by a plate punching process, and the cross-section is usually square or rectangular; type B is made by a wire punching process, and the cross-section is round. Specifications include orifice diameter and retaining ring thickness. For example, the orifice diameter of the M10 internal circlips is about 10.5mm, and the retaining ring thickness has a variety of options such as 1.25mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, etc.
Advantages of internal circlips: internal circlips have a compact structure and stable performance, save space, and can adapt to various harsh environments. Its installation method is simple and quick and can be carried out by pressing or knocking in.
