The slotted spring tension pin…

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.

Caleb Components offers both DIN 1481(ISO 8752) Heavy Duty type & Light Weight DIN 7346 (ISO 13337) Type.

Advantages of Increased Abutment Circlip

Caleb Components offers both D2000 (DIN984) Internal Increased Abutment Circlips & D2100 (DIN983) External Increased Abutment Circlips in Carbon Steel.

Internal DIN984 Circlip – These are radially fitted Circlips for bores with grooves. These Circlips are quite similar in design to the standard DIN472 Internal Circlip, but has additional lugs around the circumference of the Circlip. These extra lugs enable more effective securing of machined parts with chamfers.

External DIN983 Circlip – Again radially fitted Circlips, but are used for shafts with grooves. These are also similar to the standard DIN471 External Circlip, but again has additional lugs around the circumference. The advantage of this type of Circlips is that it helps to maintain good contact with chamfered parts.

Both of these types of Increased Abutment Circlips are available to purchase online… Please use our links below.

The Inverted Lug Circlip

At Caleb Components, we offer both External Inverted Lug Circlips (M1408/N1408) and Internal Inverted Lug Circlips (M1308/N1308). Available in Carbon Steel.

External Type – The External Inverted Lug Circlip functions the same as an standard External Circlip only the lugs are reversed. The advantage of this type of Circlip is that it gives extra clearance around the outer rim of the Circlip. This can be a great asset particularly if the shaft on which the Circlip sits is rotating and needs to be clear of any hindrances.

Internal Type – Similar to standard Internal Circlips but again lugs are reversed. Thus this type of Circlip is very useful when extra clearance is required as no lugs will be protruding within the bore.
