What are the functions of circlip pliers?

Circlip pliers, also known as circlip pliers, ring clamp pliers, etc., is a special tool designed to install and remove the inner and outer spring rings (i.e. circlip or spring clamp rings). Its role is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
First, install the circlip
Fixing function: the circlip clamp is used to fix the circlip or spring clamp ring on the workpiece, providing a reliable clamping force to ensure that the circlip can be firmly fixed in its design position, so as to prevent the axial movement and positioning of the parts.
Strong adaptability: the shape of the circlip pliers belongs to a class of needle-nose pliers, and the pliers head can be in the form of straight inside, straight outside, curved inside, curved outside, etc., to adapt to the different shapes and sizes of the circlip, to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of the installation.
Second, remove the circlip
Convenience: The spring clamp can also be used to remove the spring or spring clamp ring, through its special clamping mechanism, the spring can be easily removed, making the disassembly process more convenient and efficient.
Control stability: During the disassembly process, the clamp provides control and stability of the clamping force, which helps to reduce the damage of the spring and the damage of the workpiece.
Iii. Classification and use
According to its function and the use of the occasion can be divided into two categories: internal clamp clamp and external clamp clamp:
Inner circlip pliers (hole or hole circlip pliers) : mainly used for installation and removal of circlip inside holes. When static placement, the head of the forceps is open, and when the handle is forced, the head of the forceps is shrunk in order to achieve the purpose of tightening the spring.
Outer clamp clamp (clamp clamp for shaft) : mainly used for mounting and removing the clamp on shaft. When static placement, the head of the forceps is closed, and when the handle is forced, the head of the forceps is opened to achieve the purpose of stretching the circlip.
Fourth, material and durability
Circlip pliers are usually forged from high-quality materials (such as chromium-vanadium steel) and undergo special quenching and annealing treatment to improve their hardness and wear resistance. These treatments make the circlip pliers have a high durability and service life, and can maintain stable performance in a variety of working environments.
In summary, the circlip clamp has a wide range of application value in mechanical maintenance, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, and is one of the important tools to ensure the normal operation of mechanical equipment and the smooth maintenance work.
