Disc Springs…

Here at Caleb Components, we offer a wide range of standard DIN 2093 Disc Springs (also known as Belleville Washers).
These are also known as Conical Washers.
Our range starts from as small as 8mm x 3.2mm x 0.2mm all the way to 100mm x 51mm x 7mm.

Disc spring when stacked together or used on a single basis has the effect of a high force (compared with a compression spring) with relatively small amount of space.

Grub Screws Now Available!

We now supply Grub Screws (also known as Set Screws) to DIN 916 standard, ranging from M3 to M10 in various lenghts.
Material: A2 Stainless Steel.
Grub Screws are manufactured without a protruding head, meaning they can be driven fully into pre-drilled holes.
The lack of a head on a Grub Screw allows for the entire length of the shaft to be threaded, maximising thread engagement.

E-CLIPS

Caleb Components stocks a wide range of E-clips to DIN 6799 (D1500) Standard, in both Carbon Steel and Stainless Steel.
Sizes range from 0.8mm up to 24mm.
E-clips are a more cost effective fastener than that of a circlip, by actually doing the same job. the main difference between the two, is that an E-Clip is secured on to the shaft at 90 degrees whilst a circlip is secured by inserting from the end of a shaft.

We also stock an imperial range of E-clips in Carbon steel, ranging from 3/32″ to 7/8″.

Recently added to our range is the N1540 Reinforced Imperial E-clips. These are a more heavy duty e-clip and offer greater strength.

Push On Fasteners

Caleb Components stocks a good range of Push On Fasteners.

Included in this our M1465/N1465 range. These are very similar to the Starlock Washers we also supply. The washers are pushed on to a shaft causing the prongs to grip the shaft firmly, and therefore locking the washers in place with initial tension.
These types are available in both Metric and Imperial, made with Carbon spring steel.

The other type of Push on fastener we stock is the N1405 Imperial Self Locking Rings range. Again these do a similar job to that of a Starlock Washer or M1465/N1465 Push on Fastener.
Material offered is Carbon Spring Steel.

If you have any enquiries regarding these parts, please let us know.

Wire Rings & Snap Rings

Caleb Components is a supplier of A0900 & A1000 Wire Rings.
These wire rings retain parts on a shaft working in a similar way to that of an External Circlip. However, in the case of these parts, there is no lug and therefore no Circlip Pliers are required.
Also should be noted, that the extraction force of this part will be less than a conventional type Circlip.

We also offer M2400 External Snap Rings and M2300 Internal Rings.
The External Snap Rings are mainly used for the assembly of needle cages, needle bearings and sealing rings.
Internal Snap Rings are axially fitted rings for bores with grooves. offering the same use of that of an External Snap Ring.

Please take a look at our range of wire rings and snap rings, and please don’t hesitate to contact us with any enquiries you may have.

We now also stock Internal and External Shakeproof Washers (these are also known as Toothlock washers). By placing these washers under the head of a bolt/nut helps grip into the surface of the part being tightened, thus helps prevent loosening of nut, bolt or screw. External sizes include 4mm, 6mm, 8mm 10mm and 12mm and Internal sizes include 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm.

Caleb also supplies DIN 127B Single Coil Spring Tension Washers (also known as Spring Lock washers). Sizes ranging from 3mm up to 30mm. Sing Coil Spring Tension Washers compress when tightened offering a spring force between fastener and component thus helping to prevent loosening of nut, bolt or screw.

Please let us know if you have any enquiries for any of our parts.
