Extended Circlip for 1.57 Inch Groove Applications SKU: QT43573

When circlips fail or go missing, the result is immediate: bearings shift, gears develop endplay, and assemblies start making noise or leaking. This extended circlip restores positive retention in machined grooves, keeping components locked in place under working loads.

Why This Design Works

• Extended ears make installation and removal straightforward with standard circlip pliers
• Sized precisely for 1.57 inch grooves—eliminates guesswork during assembly
• Spring steel construction maintains tension through heat cycles and vibration
• Positive axial retention prevents component drift in drivelines and gearboxes

Clean the groove thoroughly before installation and ensure burr-free edges for proper seating. Orient the sharp edge toward the working load direction, then expand only enough to clear the groove diameter. The circlip should snap firmly into place with no gaps or distortion. Over 55 years of parts experience means we stock the retainers that keep your equipment running right.
