E Clips – How to measure an E Clip…

E Clips (also known as E Type Circlips) are a basic form of a Circlip. They have the advantage that they can be inserted form the side of the shaft rather than inserting from the end. Also, each E-Clip has flexibility on the shaft size that it will suit.

How measure an E Clip:

A metric E Clip is always measured by the Groove size. For example a 6mm E Clip will suit a 6mm groove on a shaft size between 7 – 9mm. Alternatively if you know the shaft size it’s fitting on to, here at Caleb Components we can tell you exactly which E Clip you need. Our metric E Clips are available in carbon steel and stainless steel.

An imperial E Clip is always measured by the Shaft size. For example if you a 1/2″ E Clip will suit a 1/2″ shaft.
