FAQ: How to measure Internal Circlips…

Measuring Internal Circlips could not be easier…

Internal Circlips are always listed by the BORE size they’re fitting in to. For example, we list a 10mm Internal Circlip, this will suit a bore size of 10mm, with a groove of 10.4mm.

Alternatively, measure from the outside edge of the widest part of the Internal Circlip, to the inside edge on the opposite size. This will also indicate the size of Circlip you need. For example, if this measures 30,, you will need a 30mm Internal Circlip. PLEASE NOTE! This method of measuring only applies to DIN 472 Metric Circlips and not Imperial sizes.

We are always on hand to help with technical advice in finding the right circlip for you. Call us today on 0121 661 6664 or email us: sales@calebcomponents.com

Disc Springs – What are they used for?

Disc Springs (also known as Belleville Washers) are conical shaped Washers that are produced to DIN 2093 specifications.

Disc Springs have the unique advantage of offering a high force in a confined space compared with that of a coil type compression spring.

Disc Springs can be used in such as machining & engineering, aerospace, defence and subsea applications.

Split Cotter Pins

Here at Caleb Components we stock a wide range of Split Cotter Pins.

These Pins are produced to DIN 94 standards and come in a Bright Zinc Plate finish. A Split Cotter Pin is a simple fastening device to prevent parts being released off the end of a shaft. Alternatively, they can be very useful to prevent nuts coming undone off a threaded fastener by simply drilling through nut and bolt. The o/d of the pin is made marginally smaller than the hole size to give easy fit. Once inserted the legs are bent over in opposite directions to complete the fastening.

Spring Pins – Available to purchase online!

The variety of spring tension pin that we are most familiar with is that of the slotted design. These kinds of pins are universally used, economical shear-type fastener models, which possess self-locking capabilities. When they are created, they are manufactured to an oversize dimension. This is done so that once the pin has been placed inside a hole radial forces are exerted, holding the spring in position.
