Description
Overview:
The 18mm External Circlip Retaining Ring is a robust steel fastener used to hold components in place on a shaft. Made from high‐quality steel with a resilient spring action, it snaps into a machined groove to prevent lateral movement of parts such as bearings, gears, pulleys, and spacers. This type of circlip is commonly used across construction equipment and garden machinery, including generators, compactors, lawn mowers, and cultivators. It is suitable for maintenance, repair, and assembly tasks where dependable shaft retention is required. Supplied individually, and identified by MPN 903 1234, this 18 mm circlip is a practical choice for workshops and site repairs where reliable, repeatable performance matters.
Key Features:
- External circlip sized for 18 mm shafts (fits the groove on a nominal 18 mm shaft)
- High-quality steel construction for strength and long service life
- Spring action provides secure retention under vibration and load
- Helps prevent axial (sideways) movement of components on a shaft
- Smooth-edged profile designed to seat cleanly in standard shaft grooves
- Quick to install and remove using external circlip pliers (outward-opening tips)
- Suitable for oily, greasy, and dusty environments typically found on site and in workshops
- Versatile for both professional maintenance and DIY repairs
- Available alongside related sizes from 12 mm to 25 mm for consistent selection across assemblies
- Sold individually to match exact repair quantities and reduce waste
Typical Applications:
Used to retain bearings, sprockets, pulleys, gears, collars, and spacers on rotating shafts in machinery such as plate compactors, generators, pumps, lawn mowers, brush cutters, and cultivators. Ideal for driveline, pulley, and gearbox assemblies where components must be kept in position against vibration and axial load. Common in both original builds and routine maintenance of construction and garden equipment.
