Showing Results For: Spring Clips
Spring clips, also known as terry clips or tool clips, are specific machined clips used to hold cylindrical objects in place, such as tools, through spring tension. You can also utilize them to attach and connect moving parts in engines and other mechanical equipment. Spring clips are usually in a distinctive U-shape and consist of an extended base attached through a screw.
They are commonly manufactured from plastic or sheet metal. The spring-clip fasteners allow the object to be held constant in one place or pulled out at once. The gripping strength primarily depends on the material used for manufacturing and the thickness of gripping arms. Still, all spring clips will offer a sturdy connection that can withstand vibration, pressure, and gravity. You will be able to find spring clips in bulk packs or kits, which are more convenient.
Spring clips are designed to meet specific requirements. However, they were initially intended to hold the tire pumps of bicycle frames so that punctures could be fixed. However, because of their simple design and ease of use, they have been used for various applications ranging from professional to DIY:
The industries in which spring clips are effectively used to achieve many applications include:
The flat spring clips do not have the U shape of standard clips used to hold and secure things.
These small spring clips are used for badge reel attachments to secure ID cards, security passes, etc., to clothing items, and attach cards to lanyards.
Round metal spring clips have the most common designs. They have an inverted T-shape on clipboards and are used to hold the paper in place.
The wire spring clips distribute pressure and the clamping and hosing off the glass panes in a greenhouse.
As the name indicates, these clips have a circular design that is sometimes used as hooks like in keyrings.
U-shaped spring clips are mainly utilized in assembling furniture springs and some specialist components like flanges and glass panels. The flanges are used to connect pipes and valves.
These spring clips are used to hold any two-part sliding tube components used in some engineering tasks. They consist of a button in the inner tube that clicks in an opening in the rube and holds the tube still.
