Short assembly time, long service life
Precise grip for holding and installing circlips
As in manual trades, efficiency of processes is a key factor in industry. Assembly time = production time. Precision pliers save time. Professional tools like the Knipex 48 11 J0 precision circlip pliers enable circlips to be installed and removed from holes in the shortest possible time. Every step works because the extremely stable, cold-formed tips immediately grip the mounting holes of the circlip and hold the circlips securely on the pliers.
Extremely stable, inset tips: spring steel wire for long service life
Typical applications for the Knipex 48 11 J0 precision circlip pliers: circlips that have become stuck tight are removed during engine overhauls; circlips are fitted on the assembly line. Made from high-density, smooth spring steel wire (piano wire), the tips are hard to beat in terms of stability, making them ideal for tasks like this.
Bolted, zero backlash joint for delicate, precision work
Bolted joints such as the joint of the Knipex 48 11 J0 precision circlip pliers can be set much more precisely than riveted joints. This results in a very smooth joint movement with zero backlash. This is particularly useful in confined installation situations and with small circlips. Manual force can be excellently controlled.
