How Circlips is an Alternative Design For Reducing Cost?
What is circlip? To know how usage of circlips in design is cheap, first, we need to know the concept of circlips. A circlip is actually a portmanteau of ‘circle’ and ‘clip’. It also has other names like C-clip, Snap ring, Seeger ring or Jesus clip. It is a metal ring which is semi-flexible and has open ends. The circlips can be deformed or snapped into places like a machine groove on a dowel pin so that it can allow rotation yet cease lateral movements. There are broadly two types of circlips- internal circlips and external circlips. Internal circlips are to be fitted into bores and external circlips are used over shafts. Circlips have a resilient quality as it can spring back and forth between its original and snapped shapes. As circlips have this spring quality as well as quality in keeping mechanical parts attached yet restricting lateral movements, they have a wide variety of applications. At the same time, the internal and external circlip manufacturers are booming in busines
