Designing a Custom Retaining Ring or Wave Spring with Smalley

China Wave Spring stocks over 10,000 standard rings and springs for applications in nearly every industry worldwide. We also understand, however, that the uniqueness of some applications may demand something that isn’t readily available from stock. When that occurs, our team of expert engineers is ready and willing to help you design a part that fits your needs.

Designing a custom ring or spring with China Wave Spring is efficient and economical due to our No Tooling CostTM manufacturing process. Because we edgewind our parts from flat wire, we can create prototypes and produce alternatives with no tooling modifications, which saves time and money. Because we control the manufacturing process from start to finish, we can make adjustments at any point, prototype to final production.
