Shaft clips are awesome for teams with lathes. We use them pretty much everywhere one might use a bolt and washer for retainment. E-eclips are also good, and the tradeoffs are basically as follows: with shaft clips you need shaft clip pliers to use them, they are pretty cheap and make it pretty easy to use.

The E-clip is a type of retaining ring used to secure mechanical parts within a bore or on a shaft. The E-clip is also called a ring clip or E-ring.

The most straightforward method for measuring an E-clip is by determining the diameter of the shaft it’s meant to fit. A caliper is an ideal tool for this purpose due to its precision and ease of use.

The word circlip is a portmanteau (combination of two words) of circle and clip. Circlip is also known as C – Clip, Snap ring, Seeger ring or Jesus ring. How the Circlip got the name ‘Jesus ring’? While installing and uninstalling a circlip it generally launches with a very high speed.

Vibration Resistance: E-clips are known to provide exceptional shock and vibration resistance, making them well suited for applications that may experience sudden movement. Coverage for Light Duty Applications: These clips wrap around the shaft 320° and are designed to support loads with low thrust loads. Product Line
