General Info Products All of Smalley’s wave springs and retaining rings are manufactured with our unique edgewinding manufacturing process. This eliminates any tooling charges, greatly increases design flexibility and reduces lead times as dies do not have to be produced. Retaining Rings Unlike die-stamped circlips / retaining rings, Spirolox Retaining Rings and Constant Section Rings are coiled on edge to the exact diameter required. They have a uniform cross-section (or to use our terminology, No Ears To Interfere within an assembly) and are free of burrs. Spirolox Retaining Rings meet military...

General Info Raw Material As we meet the increasing demand for more raw material sizes, the flat wire rolling mill operation in our plant continues to grow. Years ago, Smalley began a vertical integration that has evolved into the production of hundreds of material cross-sections in a wide variety of alloys. Our goal… to supply Smalley customers with uncompromising quality and service.

General Info Manufacturing Edgewinding, also known as “The No-Tooling-Cost Process”, is our precision forming operation that coils pre-tempered flat wire on edge to create a near-perfect circle. (Visualize a Slinky®, the coiled metal toy which has delighted generations of children.) Circular-Grain metallurgy gives our products strength and stability far superior to that of conventional retaining rings and wave washers which are simply stamped through the metal grain. Smalley edgewound products can be coiled to your exact specification in any diameter and with any number of turns (layers or coils),...

Wave Spring Introduction All Springs Are Not Equal® Smalley Wave Springs oer the unique advantage of space savings when used to replace coil springs. By reducing spring operating height, wave springs also produce a decrease in the spring cavity. With a smaller assembly size and less material used in the manufacturing process, a cost savings is realized. Wave springs operate as load bearing devices. They take up play and compensate for dimensional variations within assemblies. A virtually unlimited range of forces can be produced whereby loads build either gradually or abruptly to reach a predetermined...
