Fjäderklämmringar

Fjäderklämmringar, sometimes referred to as spring clips or spring washers, are a type of fastener characterized by their flexible, spring-like nature. They are designed to apply a continuous, light spring force to components, preventing loosening or separation. These rings are typically made from spring steel or other resilient metals that allow them to deform under pressure and return to their original shape.

The primary function of fjäderklämmringar is to provide tension and absorb vibration. This makes them useful in applications where components might experience movement or thermal expansion. They can be used to secure bearings, shafts, or other rotating parts, ensuring they remain in place even under dynamic loads. Their ability to maintain pressure also helps to prevent fretting corrosion by keeping mating surfaces in constant contact.

Fjäderklämmringar come in various designs, each suited for specific purposes. Some common types include circlips (internal and external), snap rings, and specialized spring washers. The selection of a particular type depends on factors such as the shaft or housing diameter, the required holding force, and the operating environment. Installation usually involves a simple push or snap into a groove or over a shaft. Their ease of use and effectiveness in preventing loosening have made them a common component in many mechanical assemblies across various industries.
