Smalley WAVE springs provide a uniform 360-degree retaining surface and a removable shoulder in assemblies, offering a flexibility advantage over traditional snap rings.

Wave springs Smalley WAVE Springs are available in a variety of configurations and materials. They are manufactured with precision Circular-Grain process and provide major space savings of up to 50% in various applications. They also equal the force and deflection of a round wire compression spring.

Spiral retaining rings

Spiral retaining rings form a removable shoulder in assemblies, providing a uniform 360-degree retaining surface. Smalley retaining rings have a uniform cross-section and have no ears to interfere. Spiral retaining rings offer a significant advantage/ alternative to common snap rings.

Manufacturing process

Smalley products are manufactured using the exclusive Circular-GrainÒ Forming Process. Rings and springs are not diestamped from sheet or strip. They are produced by edge-winding flat wire, a proprietary forming process. Smalley’s in-house wire rolling mills produce flat wire material of the highest quality and fine grain structure; they provide products with exceptional strength and dimensional stability.
