Alicate para anillos de seguridad Knipex 46 11 G0

Circlip Pliers Knipex 46 11 G0 are forged, solid-style circlip pliers designed for fitting and removing external circlips on shafts with diameters from 1.5 to 30 mm. The tool features an opening spring and non-slip solid tips; the pliers body and tips are made of chrome vanadium steel, forged and oil-hardened for strength and wear resistance. The 46 11 G0 model includes an adjustable stop screw to prevent overstretching when working with rings of 1.5–4.0 mm diameter.

Advantages

The forged chrome vanadium construction provides high strength and durability while oil hardening increases wear resistance. Solid non-slip tips ensure secure engagement with circlips, and the opening spring allows controlled, single-handed operation. The adjustable stop screw prevents overstretching on small rings, improving precision and reducing risk of ring damage. At 140 mm length and 87 g weight with plastic handles, the pliers are compact and easy to handle for precision tasks.

Suitable for

• Installing and removing external circlips on shafts with 1.5–30 mm diameter
• Precision assembly and repair work in mechanical and automotive applications
• Tasks requiring controlled opening and protection against overstretching for 1.5–4.0 mm rings

How to use

Select the pliers and check the adjustable stop screw setting if working with rings 1.5–4.0 mm to avoid overstretching. Position the tips into the circlip holes on the shaft, squeeze the handles to open the circlip and either compress it for removal or expand it onto the shaft for installation. Release the handles slowly to seat the circlip. Inspect the ring and shaft after fitting to ensure correct engagement.

Recommendations

Use the adjustable stop screw when working with small rings (1.5–4.0 mm) to prevent overstretching. Keep tips clean and undamaged; replace the tool if tips show significant wear or deformation. Store in a dry place and apply light lubricant to the pivot occasionally to maintain smooth operation.
