Description
Overview:
The E Retainer Clip 8mm is a durable metal fastener used to secure components on a grooved shaft or stud, stopping lateral movement under vibration or load. Sized for an 8 mm shaft, it provides a positive, low-profile hold where space is tight. Common across construction tools, garden machinery, workshop equipment and general mechanical assemblies, it helps retain washers, bearings, pins, linkages and collars. The open "E" shape allows quick placement from the side of the shaft without fully dismantling assemblies. Supplied as a single clip for convenient replacements, it is identified by MPN 903 1256 for easy reference and stock control. This is a practical choice for routine maintenance and repairs where a reliable retainer is required.
Key Features:
- 8 mm nominal size for standard shaft grooves, providing a secure fit
- Robust metal construction for dependable retention in demanding environments
- Side-loading "E" design allows fitting without removing surrounding components
- Low-profile form minimises interference with adjacent parts
- Helps prevent axial movement of parts such as washers, bearings and gears
- Suitable for a wide range of tools and machinery across industrial and garden applications
- Simple to install using standard pliers; removal is straightforward for service work
- Sold individually to match the exact quantity needed
