Precision circlip pliers for external circlips on shafts, Ø 3 - 10 mm, 140 mm, blister card - Knipex 49 11 A0 SB

External circlips sit in the groove of a shaft and have to be spread open before they can be fitted, without the tips slipping off or the ring tilting. The precision circlip pliers 49 11 A0 use inserted tips, which last up to 10 times longer in continuous use than turned tips. This version is 140 mm long and works on rings for Ø 3 to 10 mm.

Benefits

• Inserted tips last up to 10 times longer in continuous use than turned tips, so they need replacing far less often.
• Large bearing surfaces on the tips keep the ring from twisting, fitting and removing it takes one movement.
• The screwed joint keeps both tips exactly in line and the action free of play.
• Overstretching protection limits the opening travel, so the ring is never spread beyond its elastic range.
• The opening spring sits protected inside the joint and cannot be lost, and the slim head reaches shafts in tight housings.
• Non-slip plastic coating on the handles gives a firm hold even with oily hands.
• Working range Ø 3 to 10 mm at 140 mm overall length.

Applications

Shafts and journals on gearboxes, electric motors, pumps and bearing seats, plus precision mechanics and maintenance work. Wherever circlips are fitted onto or taken off shafts and the ring has to stay intact.
