Anillo de retención Maytronics Dolphin C6 de 8 mm A2 - 3506799

Maytronics Dolphin C6 8mm A2 circlip

This is a genuine Maytronics replacement 8 mm A2 circlip for the Dolphin C6 commercial robotic pool cleaner. A circlip is a small but load-bearing retaining ring that snaps into a machined groove on a shaft or axle to lock adjacent components — such as wheels, gears or drive-track assemblies — securely in their axial position and prevent lateral movement.

Function and location

Circlips of this type are used throughout the Dolphin C6’s drive and brush assemblies wherever a component must be retained on a shaft without threading. Once seated in its groove, the circlip creates a positive mechanical shoulder that resists both axial thrust and vibration, keeping drive elements precisely aligned during the robot’s continuous floor, wall and waterline cleaning cycles.

Modelos compatibles

This circlip is specified for the Maytronics Dolphin C6 commercial robotic pool cleaner (product code 9999096X-C6) and the Dolphin C6 Plus (product code 9999056-C6 / 9999356-C6P). The Dolphin C6 range is Maytronics’ heavy-duty commercial platform, engineered to clean large pools — the C6 Plus is rated for pools up to 110 ft — using dual drive motors and CleverClean navigation. Always verify shaft diameter and groove dimensions against your service manual before fitting.

Signs that the circlip needs replacing

A missing, deformed or sprung circlip allows the retained component to walk along its shaft, producing audible rattling, uneven track tension, erratic steering or a brush that spins freely without engaging the pool surface. If a disassembly reveals a circlip that is no longer flat, has lost spring tension or has corroded through, replacement before reassembly is mandatory.

Why fit a genuine Maytronics part

The A2 designation indicates austenitic stainless steel, which is the correct material specification for continuous submersion in chlorinated or salt-treated pool water. A generic carbon-steel or low-grade substitute circlip will corrode rapidly in this environment, causing the retained shaft component to work loose prematurely. Genuine Maytronics circlips are manufactured to the correct dimensional tolerance for the C6’s grooved shafts, ensuring a reliable snap-fit and full load-bearing contact around the groove perimeter.
