Name of a spring??
Awl --
It looks, in principle, like a "single wire hose clamp", with two "ears" you squeeze with a pliers -- essentially a one-loop torsion spring. http://www1.mscdirect.com/CGI/GSDRVS...00000078342284 is an example. But, the one I'm looking for (I've seen'em) has multiple turns, for retaining shafts, altho not in motors. You've seen a type used on barballs, as well. They grab very well, without requiring the shaft to be grooved, but can be easily released. I'm looking for small ones, to retain 1/2" to 5/8" rod sticking out of 2" tube. What are they called? Can't find them in msc, McM, Spaenauer, Century or Lee spring, etc. Appreciate any leads, clues. -- Mr. PV'd Mae West (yer fav Congressman) to the Gangster (yer fav Lobbyist): Hey, Big Boy, is that a wad (of cash) in yer pocket, or are you just glad to see me?? |
