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.

Here at Caleb Components we stock a large range of Shim Washers to DIN 988 standard, Flat Washers to DIN 125 standard, Shakeproof (tooth lock) Washers and Single Coil Washers to DIN 127B standard (also known as Spring Lock Washers).

Our Shim Washers start from as small as 3mm x 6mm x 0.1mm up to 100mm x 120mm x 1mm. These are made from Carbon Steel with a plain finish. These are sold in small pack quantities for your convenience. For larger bulk quantities please send us an enquiry and we will be more than happy to help.

Not long ago, we also introduced Flat Washers Form A (DIN 125) to our range. Our Flat Washers are bright zinc plated. These are used to protect the surface of the parts being tightened. Sizes range from M2 to M20.

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.

Caleb Components offers a range of different type of disc spring washers.

The first range we supply is DIN 2093 Disc Spring Washers. These are a powerful conical washer used in minimal space with high force.
Standard material we offer is Carbon Steel with Phosphate and Oil finish.
Please check out our online store www.springfasteners.co.uk to see if we have a size to suit you.

Another range of Disc Spring we offer is our Ball Bearing Preload Disc Springs. Advantages of these include reducing number of components and simplifies fittings, take up manufacturing tolerances and quiets bearings.
These are offered in Carbon Spring Steel with Phosphate and Oil finish.

As well as the above range of Disc Springs, we can also offer DIN 6796 Heavy Duty Disc Spring Washers. Their ideal use is for bolted sections where they are put under the nut and/or bolt head to help prevent loosening.
Why not check out our range on our online shop to see if we have heavy duty disc spring to suit you. If not, please don’t hesitate to contact us with any enquires you may have. Again, also offered in Carbon Spring Steel with Phosphate and Oil finish.

We also offer, here at Caleb Components, both light duty and medium duty Serrated Safety Washers.
Using the same concept of the Disc Spring, the Serrated Safety Washer has the special feature of radial serrations on both surfaces. When tightened to near capacity these serrations bite into the mating surfaces, thus preventing the loosening of the screw due to vibration and other similar circumstances. Serrated Safety Washers offer a reduction in the outside dia thus corresponding with most screw head sizes, particularly hexagonal socket type screws.

We look forward to hearing from you with any enquires you may have.

Looking for the right type of pin for your application can sometimes prove difficult. At Caleb Components, we offer a large variety of different pin types.

Starting with Solid Dowel Pins which are hardened and ground and offer a precise fit into a well machined hole. Being hardened, these offer a good durable, long lasting fit and has the added strength of say that of a Spring tension pin.

The Spring Tension Pin however, offers a greater variety of flexibility as these pins are hollow and are manufactured from a hardened spring steel which close down when inserted into a standard drill hole. The uses of these pins can be varied to include such uses as a hinge pin or used a fixing pin.

Another popular type sold by us is the DIN 94 Split Cotter Pin and the use of this part is different to the two mentioned above. Split pins are used as a secure fixing device as it is generally located through a hole midway through a shaft and therefore stops the pin from falling out of its location. These are easily secured in place by bending both legs in opposite directions. Removal can be a little more difficult as legs cannot always be bent back into position and often pins might have to be cut in order to be removed.

Not quite as popular as the Split Cotter Pins, the Retaining Pins offer a simple removable device, as they are simply pushed through a hole in a shaft and the other leg will fit over the shaft to hold in place. These parts are Zinc Plated to offer general corrosion resistance and due to their flexibility can be used on numerous occasions.

I remember an incident many years ago, when working at a different fastener company a business who purchased from us several hundreds of pounds worth of Disc Springs. Within a week, we received a phone call from a very distraught customer who told us in no uncertain terms that the Disc Springs we supplied were shattering into hundred of small fragments.

Questioning the customer further, we discovered that they took it upon themselves to get the parts plated. Unfortunately what they didn’t realise was that you cannot simply electroplate this type of product. Even with hydrogen de-embrittlement, small fractures can occur within the Disc Spring. As soon as pressure is applied to the Discs, stress occurs and at this point the Disc is prone to fracturing.

Standard Disc Springs are phosphated and oiled as a finish, which is fine for normal indoor shelf life in dry non-humid conditions. However, where better corrosive resistance is required parts should be plated using non electro type methods such as mechanical zinc plate or delta tone for example.

We would be happy to discuss with you any plating / special material requirements you need according to your application.
