Axle C Clip High Tensile Metal Black Galvanized Axle Shaft Lock C Clip

Axle c clip is a type of fastener or retaining ring consisting of a semi-flexible metal ring with open ends which can be snapped into place, into a machined groove on a dowel pin or other part to permit rotation but to prevent lateral movement. There are two basic types: internal and external, referring to whether they are fitted into a bore or over a shaft. Circlips are often used to secure pinned connections. When used to retain piston wrist pins (US) / gudgeon pins (UK), the clips are known as wrist pin clips or wrist pin retainers (US) or gudgeon pin clips (UK). The most commonly used circlip for this application is a simple spring steel circlip (snap ring US), or plain wire ring. Common examples include e-clips (e-ring) and the (both internal and external) snap ring (US) or circlip (UK). These general types of fasteners are sized to provide an interference fit onto (or into, in the case of an internal fastener) a groove or land when in use, such that they must be elastically deformed in order to install or remove them. Ever Hardware provides custom-made fasteners and customizable packaging.

Stainless steel does not readily corrode, rust or stain with water as ordinary steel does. However, it is not fully stain-proof in low-oxygen, high salinity, or poor air-circulation environments. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment the alloy must endure.
