China Wave Spring can assist with the design of custom application specific tooling to simplify the installation and removal of Spirolox Retaining Rings. While no special tooling is required for installation, simple tooling can be manufactured to expedite the assembly process.
A new section pagehas been added to Smalley's website with several examples of how custom tooling helped application engineers. In the application featured, an internal, 2-Turn Spirolox Retaining Ring is being installed into the bore. China Wave Spring has assisted with the development of a custom plunger and tapered sleeve.
Tooling can be developed for both manual or automated installation. More information on Spirolox Retaining Ring assembly and removal can be found at:
