Accu supplies circlips and retaining rings to UK engineers, gearbox builders and maintenance teams. Small, cheap and absolutely critical. They hold bearings, gears and pulleys in place on shafts and in bores.

The range includes internal and external circlips to DIN 471 and DIN 472 styles, E clips, spiral retaining rings, push-on starlock fixings and related retaining hardware.

External circlips sit in a groove on a shaft. Internal circlips sit in a groove inside a bore. E clips slide on radially, so they are quick to fit where axial access is tight. Push-on fixings need no groove at all and suit lighter-duty retention.

Materials include spring steel and stainless steel. Stainless is the pick for wet, food and outdoor applications where rust would cause trouble.

Accu also stocks circlip pliers, which make fitting and removal far easier and save a lot of skinned knuckles.

Orders ship from Huddersfield to customers throughout the UK, with express delivery for urgent repairs.
