E-Type Circlips, also known as E-Clips, are a type of external retaining ring that slide onto a shaft from the side, locking into a machined groove to prevent axial movement of components. Unlike internal circlips, which are installed inside bores or housings to retain parts internally, E-Type Circlips are designed for external use on shafts where quick installation and removal are required without the need to slide over the shaft??s end.

Material & Finish:
Manufactured from durable mild steel, these circlips offer solid holding strength and flexibility for repeated use. The black coating provides effective resistance against corrosion, moisture, and wear, extending the lifespan of the clip in both indoor and outdoor applications.

Applications:
E-Type Circlips are commonly used in:

• Automotive systems: securing linkages, rods, and shafts

• Consumer appliances: retaining rotating parts within compact spaces

• Mechanical assemblies: allowing for quick fastening and disassembly

• Electrical and electronic devices: lightweight and space-efficient retention

Their side-mounting design makes them ideal for use in restricted spaces where traditional circlips can??t be installed.
