DIN 6799 E-Clips
DIN 6799 covers e-clips — radially fitted retaining rings for small grooved shafts, pushed on from the side rather than along the shaft. We supply e-clips for a range of small shaft diameters.
Also known as: e clips, e-type circlips, retaining washers.

Materials & strength
Radial fitting
Installs sideways into the groove, suiting assemblies where the shaft end cannot be reached.
What is an e-clip?
A small retaining ring shaped like the letter E, pressed radially into a shaft groove. Because it fits from the side it can be installed where the shaft end is inaccessible.
How is an e-clip fitted and removed?
It is pushed square-on into the groove with pliers or an applicator until the lobes snap over the shaft, and levered off to remove. Clips distorted on removal should be replaced.
