The standard ring types from CIRTEQ^® primarily include universally applicable retaining rings for shafts. Classic retaining rings in standard design are mainly used in mechanical engineering and in the automotive industry.

V retaining rings are among the standard rings. They have a smaller radial height, a low imbalance and are therefore suitable for use with low heights, such as in needle bearings or seals. K retaining rings also fall into this category. They are fitted with small tabs around the entire circumference. K-rings are suitable for concealed installation on machine parts. If you need circlips for splined shafts, heavy-duty circlips are the right choice. They are designed for high axial forces.

This category includes various designs. E-rings as well as clip rings and half-moon rings are radially mountable rings. E-rings are universally applicable, enclose the groove with three lips and are used, for example, in vehicle construction and in the electrical industry. Clip rings generate greater contact pressure on shafts and crescent rings have a lower shoulder height than E-rings. They are suitable for bolts, bushes and chains.

Wedge rings, curved rings and concave L-shaped rings are retaining rings to compensate for axial play. The wedge ring has a chamfer on the functional edge that compensates for the axial play. Concave L-rings are designed like K-rings and compensate for a small amount of axial play. Curved rings compensate for large play with a low load.

Self-locking rings are available from Titgemeyer in the form of toothed discs, clamping lock washers and grip rings. Toothed discs are concentric with a small radial height. They are suitable for shafts and bores without grooves and for fixing seals. Clamping discs are slightly larger and stronger than toothed discs. Gripping rings can absorb high axial forces.

CIRTEQ^® circlips are particularly quick and easy to apply. They are used on shafts and in bores with a very small radial width, for example in gearboxes and for fixing bearings and sealing elements. Snap rings to DIN 5417 have a rounded inner edge. They are therefore mainly used in rolling bearings in accordance with DIN 616. Due to their round cross-section, round wire circlips to DIN9925 and DIN 9926 are particularly suitable for circular grooves with a cover, which are found in piston pins, in gear and vehicle construction and in the metalworking industry.
