A retaining ring, also known as a circlip or snap ring, is a retaining element used to axially secure components on a shaft or inside a bore (housing). Retaining rings according to DIN 471 (type A) and DIN 472 (type J) are the most commonly used variants and are suitable for applications with high rotational speeds and significant axial loads. Techniparts supplies retaining rings in various materials, diameters, and designs, with different surface treatments for optimal protection and durability.
Spring steel (Ck75 / C75), Stainless steel (X35CrMo17), Phosphor bronze (CuSn8)
Surface treatment: phosphated and oiled, or blackened and oiled
Mechanical engineering, vehicle construction, drive technology, electrical engineering, precision mechanics, and equipment manufacturing.

We supply retaining rings (circlips) in various types and sizes.
From 3 mm up to 600 mm
From 8 mm up to 600 mm
Surface protection: phosphated and oiled, or blackened and oiled.
Material: spring steel (Ck 75 / C 75), stainless steel (X 35 Cr Mo 17), or tin bronze (Cu Sn 8).
DIN 471 and DIN 472 retaining rings are the most versatile retaining elements for shafts and housings. They transmit large axial forces from the pressed machine component to the groove wall and can be used even at very high rotational speeds.
Also available: DIN 983, DIN 6799, DIN 988, DIN 984, DIN 5417, DIN 7993, Tru Arc 5108, and Circlips / Seeger types: G, KS, ZA, ZJ, RA, H, AL, JL, JB, SP, SW, SB, RW, RB.
Applications: mechanical engineering, vehicle construction, drive technology, electrical engineering, precision mechanics, and equipment manufacturing.
