FAQs

What is the use of a C spanner?

A C spanner is used to tighten, loosen and adjust round nuts, collars and locking rings that have slots or notches. This makes it an essential tool for maintaining machines, setting bearing preload and securing components during assembly or servicing. C spanners provide controlled engagement without damaging the part, giving operators a reliable grip across varied diameters.

Are C spanners universal?

No, C spanners are not universal, as each tool is sized or adjustable to suit specific nut diameters and profiles. Fixed versions match defined DIN standards, while adjustable models provide flexibility for maintenance and assembly tasks. Selecting the correct C spanner ensures proper engagement, prevents slippage and protects the component surface. Maxiloc’s range includes hinged, adjustable and DIN-pattern designs to support varied machine setups, giving operators confidence when working across different industrial applications.

How durable are C spanners?

C spanners are highly durable due to their construction from high-grade steels designed for repeated industrial use. AMF models supplied by Maxiloc feature robust finishes and corrosion-resistant options that maintain performance in demanding environments. Their precise engagement surfaces reduce wear on both the tool and the component, contributing to a long service life.

What are the different types of C spanners?

C spanners are available in two main forms, fixed models and adjustable designs for engaging round nuts and collars. Specific types include:

  • Adjustable hook wrenches that cover varied nut diameters
  • Hinged versions that improve access in confined machine spaces
  • Fixed DIN-pattern models with either a nose or pin for standardised engagement
  • Torque-wrench-compatible types for controlled tightening

These options allow operators to select the right tool for precise, reliable adjustments.
