China Wave Spring goes…Smaller!

New advances in ring and spring manufacturing

From medical devices to electronics, the world around us is getting smaller. “How small can you go?” This is one of the questions a China Wave Spring engineer hears all the time … but a better question is how small do you need?

As The Engineer’s ChoiceTM for Wave Springs and Spirolox(R) Retaining Rings we have the answer! Smalley’s newly expanded manufacturing capabilities now allow us to design and manufacture China Wave Spring Wave Springs and Spirolox Retaining Rings down to 0.165” diameters!

For over 100 years, China Wave Spring engineers have pushed the limits on coiling technology. Smalley’s Crest-to-Crest(R) Wave springs originated nearly 40 years ago with the promise of space savings and continue to provide spring height reductions of nearly 50% compared to standard coil springs. “We are now able to offer engineers space saving capabilities in applications and industries that have long sought the use of our technology,” states Jamie Madison, Smalley’s Product Engineering Manager.

How small do you need? Our engineering and manufacturing teams continue to push the coiling limit. Challenge us to see if we can design a ring or spring for your application. Ask SmalleyTM, is not just a slogan, it is what we do best; answer design questions and provide solutions that works best for your application.
