Circlips
Circlips, also known as snap rings or retaining rings are mechanical fasteners that secure components onto a shaft or in a bore. They are typically circular and have a split at one point, enabling them to be installed or removed easily without the usage of special tools.
Circlips come in various types and sizes, but they generally serve the same purpose of preventing axial movement of components such as bearings & gears on a shaft or within housing.

External Circlips
External circlips are mechanical fasteners used to secure components outside of a shaft to prevent axial movement of components along the shaft.
Internal Circlips
Internal circlips are mechanical fasteners used to secure components within a bore or housing to prevent axial movement of components within the housing.
E-type Circlips
“E-type circlips” is a specific subtype of circlip, characterized by their shape resembling the letter “E” when viewed from the side. They are commonly used in applications where space constraints or specific design requirements make the use of traditional circlips less suitable.
