Whenever you use fasteners, whether it is E clips, circlips or snap rings, it is crucial you get the sizing right. This is true if you choose an internal or external fastening. The component should provide a tight fit to prevent loosening. If you use a fastener that is too big it will come free when a little pressure is put on it, resulting in failure. On the other hand if it is too tight it could damage the shaft or affect performance. Continue reading →

Although we live in a time characterised by remarkable advances in technology there are still a good many instances where traditional solutions are relied on for addressing problems. In terms of engineering and machine design, few things tend to illustrate this quite as well or as strongly as the use of spring tension pins. In terms of being a mechanical fastener, the simplicity of its design often belies just how valuable it is. Continue reading →

A disc spring is a conical shell that can be loaded along its axis dynamically or statically. The frusto-conical shape is what gives the disc its spring characteristic. The component is also known as a Belleville washer, a name that originates from inventor Julien Belleville. Over the years, a myriad of unique profiles for disc springs have been created, with the most used today being those with or without contact flats. Continue reading →

In this day and age we’re quite used to machines and equipment being tuned or serviced so that it works as intended with precision. Whilst it would be fair to say that we’d all understand that this means to the highest level of excellence possible, it’s not always the case that everyone knows exactly how this is achieved. Although the term “with precision” sounds rather grand and involved, it can often be achieved by the smallest of changes. Continue reading →

Circlips are vital components in a wide variety of devices, including those that feature motors, turbines, and pistons too. They are load bearing and keep mechanical parts in place, preventing them from flying off when they rotate at high speeds. As a result they are vital for safety and the longevity of devices.
