E clips are used to hold cylindrical components in place, keeping them from shifting from their position and causing damage to a device. Any items that have a motor driving a shaft will make use of the clips, whether it is large pieces of machinery or small remote controlled cars.
There are a number of advantages to using E clips rather than other fastening options on props. Firstly they are efficient to use. The clip simply slots into place, requiring no special tooling to do so. Secondly they are perfect for use on shorter shafts because they fit into an inner groove rather than outside of the shaft. This reduces the amount of space that is needed.
A third benefit, and perhaps the biggest, is the fact that they have a larger surface area than alternative components. As a result they are sturdier and less likely to lose spring and slip loss, thereby providing fantastic protection.
At Caleb Components we provide a wide range of high quality E clips, ensuring we can cater for the needs of clients in various sectors. We understand how widely used these components are and the fact that they must be designed to suit the specific size of the shaft of the device. As a result they come in a wide variety of sizes.
A crucial thing that dictates the quality of the clips is the material they are made from. It is wise to select something durable and hardwearing so it will hold up to the forces placed on it. This is the reason why we primarily use strong carbon steel. Alongside this though we also offer a selection of products in stainless steel, catering for situations when additional corrosion protection is needed.
We provide E clips in bulk so that our clients can always ensure they have supplies in stock. If you would like to order from us please get in touch or purchase via our website. Any questions can be addressed to us directly too.
