Holding the pliers firm and steady, slot the circlip into the groove inside the shaft or bore where it’s going to sit As already mentioned, internal circlips are designed to fit within a bore or housing. They are typically available in both metric and imperial sizes, for convenience, and have a wide range of uses. Internal circlip types are highly durable and usually have a longer service life than alternative circlip types, making them a preferred choice for many.

The name snap ring generally refers to circlips that have the ends formed to aid installation and removal and are not formed from wire (i.e., do not have a round cross-section). These rings are designed to be installed and removed with special pliers. Some of these special pliers can be configured for internal or external clips, while in other cases, one plier is used for internal clips and another for external clips. For expediency in the field, a pair of needle-nose pliers (for internal clips) or leverage with a flat-headed screwdriver (internal or external) is sometimes used. Ensure you’re only exerting enough pressure on the retaining ring to insert it into the required position (too much force can damage or break it)Stainless steel circlips are one of the most common materials used in the manufacture of retaining rings. Stainless steel is preferred due to its tough, durable nature, meaning that the circlips can last for longer once installed. Circlips are also designed to be semi-flexible, allowing for easier installation and removal without damaging the shaft, housing, or the circlip itself. E-Type Circlips Circlips themselves tend to have open ends, rather than being a complete ring. This open-ended ‘horseshoe’ design gives them a certain amount of spring tension. Once fitted in place, the spring pressure effect ensures that they don’t move or slip out of place.
