Finding the right E Clip!

E Clips are also known as ‘E’ Type Circlips and are designed to be fitted onto shafts from the side.

Metric E Clips are always listed by groove size and Imperial ones are always listed by shaft size.

For example, if you have a 6mm – 8mm shaft with 5mm groove, you’ll need a 5mm E Clip. However if you have an imperial sized shaft, say a 1/4″ shaft, you will need a 1/4″ E Clip.
