Feathers and rings
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.
Thanks to their special geometry, crest-to-crest wave springs require up to 50 percent less axial installation space than conventional round wire springs. This results in a more efficient design overall, which means that smaller, more cost-effective drives can be used. The flat wire wave springs are manufactured using the so-called no-tooling-cost or circular-grain process - an optimized edge winding technology in which a pre-hardened, rolled flat wire has to wind over a high edge. The result is an almost perfect circle.
Smalley also uses the technology used for the wave springs in the production of its Spirolox retaining rings. These C-parts made from rolled stainless steel, spring steel, titanium or special alloys can also be found in many assembly and handling technology devices today. The retaining rings have no lugs, eyelets or holes and no gap. They close flush all round and therefore also support the implementation of space-optimized designs where every tenth of a millimetre counts. as
