What if there was a more compact, lightweight design?
Whether you have space constraints, need more design flexibility, or are looking to meet a specific load requirement, adding a Smalley wave spring to your design toolkit can open up a world of new design possibilities. Knowing when to use a wave spring and understanding the value it brings can take your designs to the next level.
So when should you use a wave spring? Below are the top 6 advantages of using a wave spring:
- REDUCE AXIAL SPACE
- Spring operating height can be reduced by up to 50%
- DESIGN FLEXIBILITY
- The number of turns, end type, material type, and thickness is just a few parameters we can customise
- ACCURATE AND PREDICTABLE LOADS WHERE YOU NEED IT
- We tolerance critical load(s) at specified working height(s), so you can expect reliable, consistent performance in your application
- VERSATILITY
- Wave springs have been the trusted solution for thousands of applications, from small to large diameters, light to heavy-duty parts, and carbon steel to exotic materials
- EXOTIC ALLOYS
- Exotic alloys are an option for your applications in extreme environments. Using a material that is not optimised for the environment that it’s in can lead to performance issues and decreased application life.
- ECONOMICAL PROTOTYPES
- Custom economical prototypes that can be delivered to you in a short lead time with no minimum order quantity
