Spring force in button cell format
Smalley wave springs require up to 50 percent less axial installation space for the same spring travel and load capacity. The smallest wave springs in the range have a diameter of just four millimetres.

Wave springs with large diameter
Word has spread to heavy and special machine builders in the petrochemical, mining and energy industries that enormous reductions in installation space can be achieved with Smalley wave springs.

Little helpers for kinematics
At Motek, TFC will be presenting, among other things, the Crest-to-Crest shaft springs and Spirolox retaining rings from Smalley, which are used to adjust the preload of roller bearings or precisely fix gear shafts.

More scope for design optimizations
The wave springs and retaining rings from US manufacturer Smalley, distributed by TFC, are used in the assemblies of gearboxes and clutches.
