How to use

Select a ring size that matches the shaft diameter and the width of the groove. Use appropriate external circlip pliers to expand the ring evenly, position it over the shaft groove and release it so the ring snaps into place. For removal, expand the ring with pliers and lift it out of the groove. Ensure that the groove and shaft are clean and free of burrs before installation to prevent improper seating and premature wear.

Usage recommendations

Check shaft and groove dimensions against the chosen ring size before installation and avoid forcing rings onto undersized shafts. When working in safety-critical or high-speed applications, verify material suitability and replace any deformed rings. Store the assortment in a dry environment to limit surface corrosion and keep pliers rated for external circlip use to ensure safe, controlled installation and removal.
