Retaining ring 3,1X11x1

Presentation: the small room that avoids the worst

This retainer ring (Often called circular beta clip or axle safety pin) adopts a semi-open "double buckle" specific form. This is one of the most important safety elements of the chassis.

• Double elastic lock: Its single geometry made of spring steel allows it to clip firmly in the groove of an axis. Unlike a classic split pin, its rounded shape prevents it accidentally clinging in a cable or clothing.

• Anti-ejection safety: Used mainly to lock the axles of screens (like the axis connecting your brake pedal to the linkage or cylinder).

• FREELINE / Birel Art: Standard part present in the official hardware catalogs of large brands like FREELINE, ensuring constant elasticity even after multiple manipulations.

- Areas of application & installation advice

1. Key locations: * Brake pump chape axle (pedal).

   • Axes of direction rods (on some specific models).

   • Halps to maintain brake safety cables.

2. Meaning of installation: Press the clip well thoroughly so that the axis groove is perfectly fastened by the internal central loop. The external loop acts as a tension shield.

3. Preventive replacement: If you notice that the ring deviates too easily by hand or lost its "spring effect", replace it immediately. A loose clip will eventually jump with the vibrations of the track.

💡 Michel's trick

"This little clip threading a millimeter is what avoids you to find you without brakes at the end of the straight line because a pedal axis has been trulpful! The trick: When cleaning the kart or mechanical to go quickly between two sleeves, we tend to blow them up with a screwdriver and they often fly to the bottom of the garage. My Pro Council: Go back never A twisted or relaxed clip tightening it with the clamp, because the steel has a shape memory and it will eventually open. Always have a small box full of these 3,1x11x1 mm rings in your toolbox. It's pure safety for the price of a coffee! "

❓ FAQ SEO (Frequently Asked Questions)

Q: Is this clip reusable?

A: Yes, as long as the steel wire retains its original elasticity and it clips with a "clac" firm on the axis. If it opens effortlessly, it is good for the trash.

Q: Is it the same model as for brake pad axes?

A: No, brake pad axes usually use longer classic beta pins or circlip clips. This double-loop ring is specifically sized for the smaller 5 mm or 6 mm link axes with a fine 3 mm groove.
