PREFACE

The Bureau of Indian Standards is the national standards body working on standardization
front in this
country.
Its object is to promote fhe development
and adoption of standards
on national and
international
basis with a view to facilitate national and international
exchange of goods and services.
The standards play an important role in ensuring human safety and health, to safeguard consumers
interests and also have significant bearing on the national and world economy.
To make available the benefits of Indian Standards to the common man, BIS has introduced its
certification
marks scheme under the Bureau of Indian Standards Act, 1987. According to this Act,
quality goods conforming to Indian Standards carry the Standard Mark. This mark is the third party
guarantee for quality of the marked goods. Licences to use the Standard Mark are granted to the
manufacturers
using reliable methods of production and quality control subject to overall supervision
by BIS.
At international
level, BIS represents India on the International
Organization
for Standardization
(ISO) and the International
Electrotechnical
Commission
(IEC). BIS participates
in most of the
technical committees of IS0 and IEC.
While continuing
with the task of standardization,
which is a dynamic process, BIS has already
published national standards totalling over 11000 on wide-ranging subjects. Indian Standards are
generally published in booklet form in A-4 and A-5 sizes for any specific product/ aspect. A large crosssection of the users of these standards have often expressed their desire to have Indian Standards in
certain areas in the form of comprehensive handbooks. It is felt that these handbooks will provide easy
reference and also make Indian Standards more easily accessible to a larger public. Further, the
handbooks shall also help the user in understanding
the provisions of the standards which will enable
them to put the standards to better use.
In view of the above,the Bureau of Indian Standards
specific areas and the Industrial Fasteners Handbook

is bringing out a series of handbooks


is one of this series.

INTRODUCTION
A fastener is a mechanical device used for holding two or more bodies in definite positions with
respect to each other. The fasteners assume great importance as most of the engineering equipment and
machinery are, today, made up of many assemblies, which use fasteners to hold various components
together. Based on the application intended, fastener receives varying degree of built-in precision and
engineering capability. This has been adequately covered in the various national standards on fasteners.
Although, fasteners are low cost items in the assemblies when compared with the the total cost of
equipment, their importance cannot be under-estimated
because of the functional role they play. The
fasteners have a wide application in the entire gamut of industry. No wonder, it is said that a fastener is a
connective tissue of the industrial copus. A large cross-section of the users of the standards have often
expressed their desire to have Indian Standards available in a comprehensive
form and hence, this
Handbook
on Industrial Fasteners has been compiled.
The Handbook on Industrial Fasteners is one of the series of handbooks to be brought out by the
Bureau of Indian Standards.
Once published, the Handbook shall fulfil the long felt need for the
availability of Indian Standards on fasteners and related subjects in a comprehensive
form.
The Handbook on Industrial Fasteners is being issued in three parts. Part 1 covers standards on basic
features of fasteners, technical supply conditions
and raw materials for fasteners. However, the
standards on general engineering materials in use in the fasteners industry have not been covered.
Besides this, Part 1 also covers few general engineering standards and other standards in the related
field.
Part 2 covers the product
Part 3 covers standards

The A-4 size standards


have been reproduced
as it is whereas A-5 size standards
have been
recomposed to match the style and format of A-4 size standards in order to haveuniform
presentation.
The Handbook has been divided into different sections, each one covering a group of standards on a
specific type or aspect of fasteners. The standards in each section are arranged in numerical order.
Numerical index is provided for the complete Handbook for easy location of a specific standard,
number of which is known to the user. The keyword (descriptors) index is provided at the end for easy
location of a standard, if the subject is known to the user.
This Handbook has been updated till March 1987. However, standardization
being a dynamic and
continuous process, users of the Handbook should take into account the fact that published standards
are subject to review and possible revision. It is pointed out that only the latest available edition is the
valid standard.

0. Foreword
0.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 14 October 1957, on approval by
the Building Division Council of the draft finalized on 25 June 1957 by the Builders Hardware Sectional
Committee.
0.2 Tinmens rivets are commonly used in light sheet metal work, such as the manufacture
of buckets, steel
trunks and fabrication
of air-conditioning
ducts. As fasteners, they are required to conform to specific
requirements
regarding hardness, strength and workability. This standard specifies these requirements and has
been prepared with a view to guiding the consumers in procuring rivets of the desirable qualities suitable for light
sheet metal work. The specification covers rivets having lengths and diameters up to and including 14.3 mm and
7.0 mm, respectively. Large sizes of rivets known as flat head rivets are proposed to be covered by a separate
specification.
0.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration
the
views of producers, consumers and technologists, and has related the standard to the prevailing manufacturing
and trade practices followed in the country in regard to the use of fhese rivets. Assistance has also been derived
from printed catalogues of manufacturers
of tinmens rivets.

0.5 In pursuance of the decision of the Government


of India to introduce uniform system of weights and
measures throughout the country based on the metric system, all dimensions appearing in the standard have been
expressed in metric units.
0.6 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this specification is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1949 Rules for rounding off numerical values; the number of places retained in the rounded off value
should be the same as those of the specified value in the standard.

SPECIFICATION
FOR
NON-FERROUS
RIVETS i( i.6 TO 10 mm )

0. Foreword
0.1, This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 28 April 1964, after the draft
finalized by the Screw Threads Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Division Council.

0.2 This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards being prepared by the Institution on metric screw threads
and fasteners. This standard deals with non-ferrous rivets, made of copper, tinned copper, brass and aluminium.
which are extensively used for general purposes. Mild steel and high tensile steel rivets of various sizes have been
covered in a separate standard.
b.3 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordace with IS : 2- 1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). I he number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. Scope
1.1 This standard specifies the requirements of copper, tinned copper, brass and aluminium rivets of sizes 10 mm
and below, intended for general purposes.

1.2 This standard does not cover rivets for aircraft or ship-building purposes.
2. Material
2.1 The copper rivets shall be made from copper rods having a minimum copper content of 99.85 percent (silver
being counted as copper) and having a minimum tensile strength of 22 kgf/mmr.
2.2 In the case of tinned rivets, tin used for tinning the copper rivets shall be of not less than 99 percent purity.
2.3 Brass rivets shall be made from brass rods having tensile properties conforming to Alloy 1 of IS : 320 - 1962
Specification for high tensile brass rods and sections (revised).
2.4 Aluminium rivets shall be made from aluminium rivet stock conformmg to IS : 740-1956 Specification for
wrought aluminium and aluminium alloy rivets, stock (for general engineering pruposes) (since revised).
3. Manufacture
3.1 Rivets shall be made by cold-forging and shall subsequently be appropriately

heat-treated, if necessary.

4. Freedom from Defects


4.1 The rivets shall be cleanly finished with heads concentric with the shanks and shall be free from
imperfections. The ends of rivets shall be square, cleanly sheared and free from rag or burr.
4.2 The tinning of tinned rivets shall be uniform and be free from spots, pin holes cracks, stams and blisters. The
tinningShall adhere firmly and be non-porous. It shall not peel off. They shall be finished smooth and bright all
over.
5. Dimensions
5.1 River Heads -

The heads of rivets shall conform to the proportions shown in Fig. I to 5.

5.2 The preferred length-diameter combinations of the rivets are given in Table 1.

EXPLANATORY

NOTE

This standard was originally issued in 1963 and revised in 1972. In the revision of 1972, only unhardened
cylindrical pins were covered while requirements
of hardened cylindrical pins and taper pins are covered in
IS : 6689-1972 and IS : 6688-1972 respectively.
In the earlier version, tolerance values given after rounding off to the second place of decimal had posed
certain manufacturing
problems as the manufacturer
could not take advantage of the specified tolerance class
owing to the rounding off which restricted the actual tolerance available for manufacture.
Hence, tolerance
values have been deleted and only tolerance classes retained.
In the preparation
of this standard, assistance has been derived from IS0 2338-1972

major changes have been made in the present

Standard has been split into two parts:


Part 1 Threaded taper pins with internal threads
Part 2 Threaded taper pins with external threads
Material clause has been modified to permit free-cutting steels with improved machinability.
Tolerance on the screw threads have been modified to align with IS : 4218 - 1976 Specification for
IS0 metric screw threads.
Tolerance on nominal length has been modified to js 15.
For acceptance criteria, major and minor defects have been redefined and AQL values incorporated.
AQL values are separately given for testing for defects and defectives. Thus either testing for
individual defects or defectives (the latter only distinguishes
between good and defective pieces
regardless of the various possible defects) is necessary depending on the use to which the pins are put
to. Both methods of acceptance on the basis of defect or defective pieces are therefore included as
option. There is no clear-cut statistical connection between the AQL values for individual defects and
AQL values for defective pieces.

For acceptance criteria, major and minor defects have been redefined and AQL values incorporated.
AQL values are separately given for testing for defects and defectives. Thus either testing for
individual
defects or defectives (the latter only distinguishes
between good and defective pieces
regardless of the various possible defects) is necessary depending on the use to which the pins are put
to. Both methods of acceptance on the basis of defects or defective pieces are therefore included as
option. There is no clear-cut statistical connection between the AQL values for individual defects and
AQL values for defective pieces.

( Second Revision )

PLATES

0. Foreword
0.1 This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 31 May 1984,
after the draft finalized by the Foundary Sectional Committee had been approved by the Structural and Metals
Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first issued in 1968 and was subsequently
revised in 1975. On the basis of experience
gained during these years, it has been decided to revise this standard to make it more practicable. In this revision,
the material requirement and dimensions of the guide pins have been modified.
0.3 Guide pins are fixed in the pin holes of the pattern plate by means of washers, spring washers, nuts or lock
nuts to superimpose the moulding boxes.
0.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS: 2-1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. Scope
1.1 This standard

covers the requirements

for guide pins for foundry

pattern

plates.

2. Supply of Material
2.1 General
requirements

requirements
relating to the supply of guide pins shall conform
for the supply of metallurgical
materials (first revision).

to IS : 1387-1967 General

3. Material

3.1 (;uidc pins shall be machined from steel conforming to class I A of IS : 1875 and shall be case carborized,
hardened and tempered to 40 45 HRC and the case depth shall be maintained at 0.25 mm. Min.

3.1.1 Higher hardness of the pin may also be supplied if agreed to between the manufacturer

and the user.

4. Shape and Size


4.1 The shape and sizes of guide pins shall be in accordance

with Tables

I and 2

5. Screw Threads
5.1 As indicated in the figures given in Tables I and 2, the left-hand end of the pin shall be threaded. The threads
shall conform to IS : 4218 (Part 3)-1976 IS0 metric screw threads : Part 3 Basic dimensions fordesign profile
(/ir.sr re\~i.sion).
6. Designation

6.1 Guide pin (A) for round holes shall be designated by the nominal diameter(dl) and nominal length (11)of the
pin. For example, a guide pin of nominal diameter 22 mm and nominal length 135 mm shall be designated as
guide pin (A) 22 X 135 -- IS : 4981.
6.2 Guide pin (B) for elongated bush holes shall be designated by the nominal width across flat (br) and nominal
length (I,) of the pin. For example, a guide nin of nominal width across flat 22 mm and nominal length 175 mm
shall be designated as guide pin (B) 22 X 175 -. IS : ~$981.
7. Workmanship

and Finish

7.1 All guide pins shall be made cleanly and neatly and shall be free from burrs, scales and tool marks.
8. Packing
8.1 The guide pins may be packed in cartons or boxes with a coating of suitable rust preventive,
IO, 20, 50 or 100. The size and quantity shall be clearly indicated on the cartons or boxes.

NOTE

This standard was first published in 1973. In the earlier version, the method of specifying the clamping
length for Type B clevis pins (the outer distance between the split pin holes) was 3ot clearly spelt out. The method
of arriving at the total length of the clevis pin from the required clamping length has been included in the present
revision and consequent changes have been made in the designation of clevis pins. The nominal length of the pin
has been increased to 300 mm. Reference has also been made to the relevant Indian Standard for sampling and
acceptance criteria for clevis pins.

EXPLANATORY

NOTE

Spiral pins are used for joining (pinning) two or more parts. Apart from their role as fasteners, they may
be employed
as hinges, pivots, locating devices, retainers and so on. The spiral shaped cross-section
(approximately
2% turns) confers high elastic deformability
on the spiral pins. This means that they are also
capable of sustaining dynamic loading. The individual turns of the pin exert a constant preload over the
periphery so that a uniform bearing pressure is likely to result in the receiving hole.
The heavy duty pin is recommended
where shear, shock and vibration
static shear load is greater than the shock and vibration loads.
strength

loads are severe and where the,

The two ends of the pin are given a conical form to facilitate entry into the receiving hole. The shear
of the spiral pin is the same in every radial position and consequently there is no need to align them.

Medium duty spiral pins are covered by a separate Indian Standard. The difference between the two types
of spiral pins is only in the sheet thickness and hence in shear strength. Dimensionally,
the two types of spiral pins
are interchangeable.

of an application is given in Fig. I.

( Revised )
D. Foreword
Il.1 The revised Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 25 November 1961, after
the draft finalized by the Builders Hardware Sectional Committee had been approved by the Building Division
Council.
D.2 This standard was first issued in 1956 specifying the shank diameters of various types of copper wire nails in
SWG,(Standard
Wire Gauge), lengths in inches and packing requirement in pounds. In view of the adoption of
the metric system of weights and measures by the Government
of India, revision of this standard was felt
necessary by all concerned interests. During working of this standard certain manufacturing
difficulties also
:ame to light. This revision, therefore,,provides
for tolerance on taper length of nails and relaxes tolerance on size
of head in case of rose-head boat nails and specifies the dimensions and packing requirements
of copper wire
nails in the metric system.
3.3 The Sectional Committee responsible for the preparation of this standard has taken into consideration
the
views of producers, consumers and technologists and has related the standard to the manufacturing
and trade
>ractices followed in the country in this field. Due weightage has also been given to the need for international
coordination among standards prevailing in different countries of the world.

NOTE

Parallel keys and keyways were formerly covered in IS : 2048-1975 Specification for parallel keys and
keyways Cfirst revision). However, parallel keys and keyways meant for machine tools Gere covered in IS : 27 IO1975 Specification for parallel keys and keyways for machine tools (first revision).
The dimensions and tolerances of keys of sizes 4 X 4 to 40 X 22 covered in IS : 2048- 1975 were exactly the
same as those covered in IS : 2710-1973, which specification was applicable to machine tools. Only the range of
.key lengths and dimensions of keyways differed for machine tool applications.
In the present revision of IS : 2048, the requirements of keys for machine tools including the range of key
lengths and details of keyway have been incorporated.
In addition, the original range of sizes 2 X 2 to 100 X 50 as
also the Types A to J have been retained.

*For intermediate shaft diameters, the dimensions of keys and keyways given for the diameter immediately above should be adopted.
For shaft diameters greater than 630 mm, the dimensions of the keys and the keyways should be determined as follows:
t = 0.068 d
t, = I
12 = t + 0.4 mm (for t 45 mm)
= t + 0.5 mm (for t 45 mm)
h=tX(d-t)
h,=b=tX(d-t)
hz = ts X (d - tz)
s and R according to the table of the note below.
**The width b is a function of the widths bl and b2 of the milled keyways, respectively in the hub and in the shaft. Its theoretical value is
equal to t X (d - t).
tThe width
calculated value is
$The width
calculated value is

HAYDBOOK

bl is a function of the milled depth t,. Its value has been calculated on the basis of the formula bl = b =r X (d - 0. This
both the nominal and maximum value of the width of the keyway in the hub.
bl is a function of the milled depth t2. Its value has been calculated on the basis of the formula b = 12 X (d - 12). This
both the nominal and minimum value of the width of the keyway in the shaft.

- A pair of tangential key shall be designated by their common thickness, combined width and
common length followed by the number of this standard.

3. Designation

Example:
A pair of tangential keys with thickness t = 8 mm, width b = 24 mm and length I= 100 mm shall be
designated as Tangential Keys 8 X 24 X 100 IS : 2291.

4. General Requirements
4.1 The relative positions of keys after assembly shall be made secure by dowelling

or some other suitable means.

4.2 To facilitate the cutting of keyways on the shaft and in the hub, they may be located 180 apart, by agreement
betyeen the interested parties.

5. Material of Key -

Steel of tensile strength not less than 600 MPa.

EXPLANATORY

NOTE

This standard was first published in 1963 and subsequently revised in 1976. On the basis of comments
received, the committee responsible for its preparation felt it necessary to revise the specification again to be in
line with IS0 3117-1977 Tangential keys and keyways.
In the present revision, sectional view of keyway has been modified and the values of calculated width of
keyway in hub and in shaft has been specified.

DIMENSIONS
FOR
SET COLLARS
__-1.Forbword
1.1 This Indian Standard was adopted by the Indian Standards Institution on 27 January 1965, after the draft
inalized by the Machine Tools Sectional Committee had been approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Xvision Council.
1.2 This standard has been prepared with a view to unifying the dimensions of set collars used in general
ngineering for locking or locating bearings and other running parts in the axial direction, as well as to obtain
nterchangeability
of the collars with shafts. Set collars specified in this standard are suitable for shafts in the
liameter range of 2 mm to 200 mm. The diameter steps have been selected from the R20 series of preferred
lumbers. A heavy series of set collars has been provided in this standard, for use in cases where greater axial
oads have to be sustained, than is usual with bearings and similar applications.
1.3 While preparing

this standard,

assistance

has been derived from:

CSN 02 2910-1954 Stavtci Krouzky se stavecimi Srouby (Set rmgs for shafts). Ui&prO

1.4 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
ralue, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with IS : 2-1960
Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised). The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
/alue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
1. Scope
1.1 This standard
100 mm diameter

specifies the material and dimensions for set collars in the light series for shafts from 2 mm to
and in the heavy series for shafts from 10 mm to 150 mm diameter.

2. Material
2.1 The set collars shall be made from a suitable
wrought steel for general engineering purposes.

to IS : 1570-1961 Schedules for

3. Dimensions
3.1 The dimensions
respectively.

of set collars

of the light and heavy series shall be as specified in Table

1 and Table 2

3.2 The grub screws shall be according to IS : 2388- 1963 Specification for slotted grub screws. They shall be of
the slotted head. Type C, for light series and socketed head, Type C, for the heavy series.
3.3 The taper pins shall be according

to IS : 2393-1963 Specification

for cylindrical

pins.

4. Designation
4.1 The set collars shall be designated

by the series, the type, the nominal

bore and the number

of this standard.

Example:
A light series set collar of Type A with a nominal

bore d, = 20 mm shall be designated

A-l. Load-Bearing Capacity - A circlip connection requires separate calculations for the load-bearing capacity
of the groove FN and for the load-bearing
capacity of the circlip FR. In each case the weaker part is that which
applies. The load-bearing
capacities (FN, FR F& given in 3, contain no safety, neither against yielding under
staticstress
nor against fatigue fracture under fluctuating stress. There shall be at least twice the level of safety
against fracture under static stress.
A-l.1 Load-Bearing Capacit.v of Groove, FN - The load-bearing capacity of the groove FN in 3 applies for a
yield point of the material in the region of the shaft groove of Rer = 200 N/mm* as well as for the given nominal
groove depths t and edge margins n. The load-bearing capacity FN for deviating groove depths t(resulting from
deviating shaft diameters dl and /or deviating groove diameters d2) and yield points Rfer.is directly proportional

A-2. Detachment Speed, Nds - The application of circlips is limited by speeds at which pretension is relieved by
centrifugal force and at which the circlip starts to lift from its seating in the groove base. In Table 1 and Table 2,
detachment speed N ds are given at which the circlips start to become detached from their seating in the groove
(groove diameter=nominal
diameter). Actual release of the circlip can be expected only after a further increase of
speeds by 50 percent. The values apply to circlips made of spring steels shall be as specified in 4.2.

H 13 applies. With unilateral power transmission,
the grooves can be widened and/or chamfered towards the
unloaded side. The groove width has no influence on the load-bearing capacity of the circlip connection; Intraplant specified groove shapes and groove widths are therefore possible.
If the circlips is to be subjected to alternate power tansmission

Pliers in accordance

A-4.1.1 When fitting, make absolutely sure that the circlips are not overspread, that is, are not opened further
than is necessary for fitting over the shaft. If necessary, pliers with opening restriction (set screw) shall be used.
The safest protection against overspreading
is fitting with the aid of cones (see Fig. 12).

EXPLANATORY

NOTE

This standard was issued in 1965, as a comprehensivestandard


based on draft DIN 471-1963 for
dimensions.
Subsequently
in 1981 the DIN standard was revised completely incorporative
of testing and
acceptance requirements,
but sizes and range remain the same.
The Committee, responsible for formulation
bring it in line with the relevant DIN standard.

of this Indian

Standard

(IS : 3075), decided to revise it to

Circlips made from carbon spring steel strips or bars serve as radial spring fasteners for positioning and
retaining components in assembly. Normally, the circlips are axially assembled either over shafts or inside bores.
When the circlips are assembled, a portion of the circlip protrudes from the groove to form a shoulder to
support the abutting part. The part to be retained may be; a ground thrust washer having a full surface contact
with the shoulder providing a sharp-cornered
abutment; or a ball bearing with a radiused edge which will have
contact with only a portion of the shoulder; or a gear wheel with a sharpened edege which will also have contact
with.only a portion of the shoulder. The large corner radius or chamfer will result in a different type of assembly
from that of the sharp cornered abutment.
Thus the fastening system using circlips depends on three elements, namely, the circlip, the groove and the
retained part. In case of axial load transmission,
the circlip serves as a means of transfering the load from the
retained part to the groove wall. However, in cases of impact loading, the energy absorbing capacity of the circlip
will be an important factor. The more energy absorbed, the less will be transferred to the grooved wall.
Earlier standard dealt with the dimensions and other requirements for all types of circlips. In the present
revision, IS : 3075-1965 has been divided into three parts to bring it in line with latest DIN standards. Testing,
acceptance criteria, packaging and IS1 certification marking clauses have also been included.
This standard is Part I which covers requirements of circlips to be assembled over shaft, generally based
on DIN 471-1981 Circlips (retaining rings) for shafts-normal
type and heavy type. In addition to this, the
requirements for radially assembled type of circlips, commonly known as Etype circlips; used for smaller shafts
have been covered in Part 3 of this standard. Other two parts of the standard in this series are:
Part 2 : Specification

for circlips for bores (based on DIN 472-1981); and

Part 3 : Specification

for criclips, Type E for shafts (based on DIN 6799-1981).

6. Finish
6.1 All sharp edges shall be removed from the circlips. The circlips shall be free from burrs, cracks, laminations

and other defects.


6.1.1 The maximum permissible deviation on the profile at engaging lip may also be mutually agreed upon
between the manufacturer and the user in case of special application.
6.2 Unless any alternative finish is specified by the purchaser, the circlips shall be chemically and/ or thermally
blackened or phosphated to Class A2 of IS : 3618-1966 Phosphate treatment of iron and steel for protection
against corrosion. These coated circlips shall be subjected to appropriate treatment to avoid hydrogen
embrittlement.
Note - In case of circlips with electroplated surface protection, the upper limit of the circlip thickness smay beexceeded according
to the film. This shall be taken into account in the design of the groove.

7. Tests
7.1 Testing the Material
7.1.1 Vickers hardness test in accordance with IS : 1501 (Part l)-1984 Method of Vickers hardness test for
metallic material: Part 1 HV5 to HV 100 (second revision).
7.1.2 Rockwell hardness test in accordance with IS : 1586-1968 Methods of Rockwell hardness test (Band C
scales) for steels yirst revision). In case of doubt, the Vickers hardness test applies. In case of circlips, the
hardness test is regarded as a destructive test.

of the groove FN and for the load-bearing
capacity of the circlip FR. In each case the weaker part is that which
applies. The load-bearing

load nor against fatigue fracture under fluctuating load. There shall be at least twice the level of safety against
fracture under static load.

NOTE

This standard was issued in 1965, as a part of comprehensive standard which was based on draft DIN 4721963 for dimensions.
Subsequently,
DIN standard was revised completely with the inclusion of testing and
acceptance requirements.
However, the sizes and range remain the same as that of earlier DIN version.
The committee, responsible
with the relevant DIN standard.

for formulation

of this standard,

decided to revise the same to bring it in line

Circlips made from carbon


retaining components in assembly.

spring steel strips or bars serve as radial spring fasteners for positioning and
Normally, the circlips are axially assembled either over shafts or inside bores.

When the circlips are assembled, a portion of the ring protrudes from the groove to form a shoulder to
support the abutting part. The part to be retained may be a ground thrust washer having a full surface contact
with the shoulder providing a sharp-cornered
abutment; or a ball bearing with a rediused edge which will have
contact with only a portion of the shoulder;-or a gear wheel with a chamfered edge which will also have contact
with only a portion of the shoulder. The large corner radius or chamfer will result in a different type of assembly
from that of the sharp cornered abutment.
Thus the fastening system using circlips depends on three elements, namely, the circlip, the groove and the
retained part. In case of axial load transmission,
the circlip serves as a means of transferring the load from the
retained part to the groove wall. However, in cases of impact loading, the energy absorbing capacity of the circlip
will be an important factor. The more energy absorbed, the less will be transferred to the grooved wall.
IS : 3075-1965 dealt with the dimensions and other requirements for all types of circlips. In the present
revision, IS : 3075-1965 has been divided into three parts to bring it in line with relevant DIN standards. Testing,
acceptance criteria, packaging and ISI Certification marking clauses have also been included.
This Part 2 of the standard, which covers requirements
of circlips to be assembled inside bores, is
generally based on DIN 472-1981 Circlips (retaining rings) for bores-normal
type and heavy type.
The other two parts of the standard

in this series are:

This standard was issued in 1965, as a comprehensive


standard based on draft DIN 6799-1963, for
dimensions.
Consequently,
DIN standard was revised completely with the inclusion of testing and acceptance
requirements.
However, the sizes and range remain the same, as that of earlier DIN revision. This standard is
being revised to bring it in line with the DIN standard.
Circlips made from carbon spring steel strips or bars serve as radial spring fasteners for positioning and
retaining components in assembly. Normally, the circlipsare either axially assembled (either over shafts or inside
bores) or radially assembled over shafts.
When the circlips are assembled, a portion of the ring protrudes from the groove to form a shoulder to
support the abutting part. The part to be retained may be; a ground thrust washer having a full surface contact
with the shoulder providing a sharp-cornered
abutment; or a ball bearing with a radiused edge which will have
contact with only a portion of the shoulder; or a gear wheel with a chamfered edge which will also have contact
with only a portion of the shoulder. The large corner radius or chamfer will result in a different type of assembly
from that of the sharp cornered abutment.
Thus, the fastening system using circlips depends on three elements, that is the circlip, the groove and the
retained part. In case of axial load transmission,
the circlip servesas a means of transferring the load from the
retained part to the groove wall. However, in cases of impact loading, the energy absorbing capacity of the circlip
will be an important factor. The more the energy absorbed, the less will be transferred to the grooved wall.
This standard dealt with the dimensions and other requirements for all types of circlips. In the present
revision, this standard has been divided into three parts to bring it in line with relevant DIN standards. Testing,
acceptance criteria, packaging and BIS certification marking clauses have also been included.
This Part 3 of the standard covers requirements of thecirclips of radially assembled type, most commonly
known as Etype, used for smaller shafts. Inaddition to this, the requirements of circlips, axially assembled over
shafts having diameters 3 to 300 mm, normal and heavy types have been covered in Part 1 of this standard.
