The core advantage of GLL Retaining Ring Circlip begins with breakthroughs in material selection and heat treatment processes:
High-strength alloy steel and stainless steel: GLL Retaining Ring Circlip adapts customized alloy formulas (such as 65Mn, 304/316 stainless steel) are used to balance elasticity and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term stable operation in high temperature, high vibration or corrosive environments.
Precision heat treatment technology: Through controlled atmosphere quenching and tempering processes, the internal grain structure of the material is optimized to increase the tensile strength of the product by more than 30%, while maintaining appropriate elastic deformation capacity to avoid breakage or deformation.
Surface treatment innovation: Provide multiple surface treatment solutions such as galvanizing, Dacromet, and phosphating to meet the corrosion resistance requirements under different media, especially in marine engineering or chemical equipment.
GLL has redefined the functional boundaries of retaining springs through simulation analysis and structural innovation:
Ultra-thin wall design and space optimization: By optimizing the cross-sectional shape through finite element analysis (FEA), the wall thickness is reduced to 70% of the industry average while ensuring the bearing capacity, freeing up more space for compact equipment design.
Bidirectional locking and anti-drop structure: For high-speed rotation or reciprocating motion scenarios, products with bidirectional claws or serrated locking surfaces are developed to effectively prevent loosening and reduce the need for additional fixings.
Standardization and customization coexist: Covering international standard specifications such as DIN 471/472 and ISO 3678, while providing non-standard size rapid customization services to adapt to the diverse needs from micro motors to heavy machinery.
FAQ
Q1: What should I do if the circlip is easy to fall off after installation?
A: Kindly verify that the circlip groove depth meets the standard (≥ 1.5 × circlip thickness) and that the opening faces the load direction.
Q2: Are stainless steel circlips completely rust-proof?
A: 304/316 stainless steel circlips may still produce slight rust spots in humid or salt spray environments. It is recommended to use Dacromet-treated models to improve corrosion resistance.
Q3: Can non-standard size circlips be customized?
A: We support customized services with a minimum order quantity (MOQ) of 500 pieces, and provide drawing review and prototype testing support.
Q4: How to choose the material of the circlip?
A: GLL recommends 50CrV4 for high load, 316 stainless steel for corrosive environments, and 65Mn for cost-sensitive applications.
