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.

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.

Caleb Components Washers

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).

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.

Disc Spring selection!

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.

Our Pins!

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.
