Internal retaining ring

How to install a circlip?

An internal circlip is positioned in a bore. The internal circlip, at rest, is open. To install it will be necessary to use snap ring pliers to close/tighten the ends and position it in place in the desired bore.

There are specific pliers for internal circlips. The "ZGJ" models are the pliers recommended for this type of product. You can find this range of products in the tools category of our site. The choice of collet will also depend on the diameter of your bore, so we advise you to contact our customer service experts who will be happy to advise you.

How to measure an internal circlip?

When shopping for circlips, it is important that you know that it is not the size of the product that is needed but the size of the assembly. Indeed, for an internal circlip, you will have to take the dimension of the bore. So that you can identify the reference of the circlips you need, it is therefore essential to know this dimension. For example, if your bore is 25mm, the item number will be CIRCLIP-INT-25.
