A high-quality circlip (retaining ring), a key component of the planetary hub in the drive axle. Its function is to axially secure the sun gear in the planetary gear set, preventing it from shifting. Made of appropriately resilient spring steel, it guarantees a secure fit in the groove and maintains the integrity of the entire, extremely heavily loaded mechanism.
Aftermarket quality product – an intelligent choice combining excellent quality with an attractive price.
| Brand (Machine Type) | Example Application |
|---|---|
| JCB (Backhoe Loaders) | 1CX, 2CX, 2DX, 3CX, 4CX |
| JCB (Telehandlers) | Loadall (wide range of models) |
| JCB (Wheel Loaders) | Various models |
| JCB (Other Machines) | FASTRAC, JS Wheeled Excavators, ROBOT, Teletruk Forklifts |
The list above is for reference. Due to its wide application in various axle types, please verify with the parts catalog for your machine before purchasing.
Replacing a circlip is usually part of a larger hub repair. To ensure the longevity of the entire assembly, always install a new circlip with new bearings, seals, and fresh HYPTRON gear oil. This will provide optimal lubrication and protection for all components.
The sun gear circlip is a small but critical component that maintains the geometry of the entire planetary gear set in the hub. Its failure or wear leads to axial movement of the sun gear, which immediately causes damage to the teeth of the planet gears and the ring gear, leading to catastrophic failure.
Replace the circlip preventively during every axle repair. Symptoms of failure include:
✓ Prevent Hub Destruction: The GX-AFTER Solution
Reusing an old, fatigued circlip is asking for trouble. The GX-AFTER circlip is a smart choice that ensures your hub repair is done professionally. Made of spring steel with the correct hardness, it provides a secure hold and peace of mind for thousands of operating hours.
Rebuilding an axle? Don't skimp on the cheapest part!
The cost of this circlip is a fraction of a new planetary hub. Order it today and be sure that your repair won't return to the workshop due to a simple oversight!
A broken circlip will cause the entire planetary gear set to disintegrate. Metal fragments will destroy all gears, bearings, and the hub housing, leading to a very expensive repair and a sudden wheel lock-up.
