Circlips
	Circlips were developed over 60 years ago as a cost saving alternative to fastening such as machined collars on shafts or washer and pin assemblies and still offer the same benefits of a single fastening mechanism by reducing material waste and the number of components. However, today there are many variations to the basic Internal and External types; developed out of the special needs of the consumer for various strength and design characteristics.

Support Washers, Shims

Shims DIN 988
A rigid means of reducing axial play caused by manufacturing tolerances. Stepwise thickness combination.
Applications • Compensation of axial play • Machine construction • Vehicle construction
Metric Shims

Support Washers
DIN 988
Manufactured from spring steel, hardness HRC 44-49. Larger sizes with ground faces.
Applications • Between components with large radiussed edges and retaining rings. To create a true abutment
