Description
Overview:
The Spring Retainer - Robin Part - RB243 33701 13 is a small but important metal component used to locate and hold springs securely in place within machinery assemblies. Made from durable metal for long service life, it helps maintain correct tension and positioning, preventing springs from moving, snagging, or wearing prematurely. This retainer is commonly used in small petrol engines and power equipment found in construction and garden settings, including generators, plate compactors, water pumps, tillers, chippers, and lawn and landscape tools running Robin/Subaru-type engines. By keeping the spring aligned on linkages and housings, it supports smooth operation of throttle, governor, recoil starter, and other spring-based mechanisms, making it a reliable choice for both professional maintenance and DIY repairs.
Key Features:
- Durable metal construction for long service life under vibration and shock loads
- Helps maintain correct spring tension and alignment for consistent performance
- Clean, accurate fit to minimise wear on the spring and mating parts
- Compact profile suits confined engine housings and tight assemblies
- Easy to install for straightforward maintenance and servicing
- Supports smooth throttle and governor response by preventing spring misalignment
- Suitable for routine servicing to reduce downtime and extend equipment life
- Commonly used across a range of small engines and outdoor power equipment
Typical Applications:
Used to retain and position springs in small engine and machinery assemblies such as throttle and governor linkages, recoil starter mechanisms, brake or clutch return systems, and general control linkages. Ideal for equipment used on building sites, workshops, and gardens where reliable spring retention helps maintain safe, smooth, and efficient operation.
Also known as:
Often referred to as a spring holder or spring clip. Other common terms include spring keeper, retaining clip, retainer plate, and spring seat. These names describe parts serving the same purpose: securing a spring in the correct location to ensure reliable function of the mechanism.
