From medical devices to electronics, the world around us is getting smaller. “How small can you go?” This is on of the questions a Smalley engineer hears all the time.. but a better questions is how small do you need?
Smalley’s newly expanded manufacturing capabilities allow the company to design and manufacture Smalley Wave Springs and Spirolox Retaining Rings down to 0.165”, 4mm diameters!
Wave Springs
-Small sizes fit into tight radial and axial spaces
-Designer to satisfy precise operating conditions
Smalley Wave Springs reduce operation height by up to 50% with the same force and deflection as coil springs allowing them to fit in small applications other springs cannot. Wave Springs are manufactured to predictably satisfy precise operation conditions. This makes them ideal for tight radial and axial spaces found in many medical applications.
Over 4,000 standard springs are available from stock in carbon and stainless steel in diameters from ¼” to 16”. Custom parts can be designed with No-Tooling-Charges™ in sizes from .165” to 120”.
