SecureFix Direct R Clips - Silver

'R' grip clips are versatile fasteners used for retaining shaft collars on main shafts, replacing split pins, and generally securing components in place on shafts where lateral movement needs to be prevented.

The product information states that dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly. It is advisable to check against specific requirements if precision is critical.

These clips are made from metal and feature a zinc-plated finish for durability and corrosion resistance.

Choose an R clip whose dimensions (particularly A and B) are suited to the diameter of the shaft and the size of the component or collar it needs to retain. Refer to the product's dimension chart for guidance.

The product information mentions that any quantity can be supplied, suggesting flexibility beyond standard packaging.

Simply slide the R clip onto the shaft, ensuring its prongs engage with any grooves or collars to hold the component securely in place. No special tools are typically required.

The zinc plating provides a protective layer that enhances the clip's resistance to rust and corrosion, extending its lifespan, especially in environments exposed to moisture.

Ensure the correct size clip is being used for the shaft and component. Check for any wear on the shaft or component groove. Verify the clip is fully engaged.

Confirm you are using the correct size. If too tight, the shaft or component groove may be slightly out of tolerance. If too loose, it may not provide adequate retention. Use pliers gently if needed for removal, but avoid excessive force that could deform the clip.

This is typically due to the zinc plating wearing thin or being exposed to moisture. For non-critical applications, this may not affect function. For critical uses, consider replacing the clip or applying a rust inhibitor.
