Tips for searching

  • Smalley part numbers have no spaces, enter a dash between the series and the number.
  • Do not enter a material suffix, the Smalley part database is not material specific.
    (Ex: -S17 or -S02)
  • The following Smalley series must contain 4 numbers after the series designation:
    FHE, FSE, SSR, SSB, RW(Ex: SSR-0050)
  • The following Smalley series must contain 3 numbers after the series designation:
    C, CS, FH, FS (Ex: C050-L1 or FH-013)
  • Other Smalley retaining ring and wave spring series vary in length , no “0” is required before the number
    (Ex: WH-50)
  • More information on the SSRS Series.

Specifying Part Number: Retaining Rings
Retaining ring part numbers consist of three parts: the ring series and application diameter, the material and the finish. Please use the following guide to correctly identify a part:


 

Series & Application Diameter
The first portion of a Smalley part number represents what series of ring is specified. This indicates whether the ring is a light duty, medium duty, medium heavy, heavy, metric or snap ring. This portion of the part number also indicates whether the ring is an internal/housing ring or external/shaft ring and the application size.

 

Example: WH-100 1.000" Medium Duty Housing Ring
  WSM-150 1.500" Heavy Duty Shaft Ring

 

 

Specifying Part Number: Wave Springs
Wave spring part numbers consist of three parts: the ring series and application diameter, the material and the finish. Please use the following guide to correctly identify a part:

 

 

Series & Application Diameter: The first portion of a Smalley part number represents what type of spring is specified. The following prefixes should be used to specify spring type:

 

Series Prefix
Standard Sing -Turn SSR
Bearing Preload SSB
Narrow Section Single-Turn SSR-N
Crest-to-Crest C
Crest-to-Crest with Shim End CS
Shim SSRS
Wavo RW


Example: C150-M5 1.500" Crest-to-Crest Wave Spring
  CS125-L10 1.250" Crest-to-Crest Wave Spring with Shim Ends
  RW-0237 2.375" Wavo Spring

 

 

Finish: To specify a finish on retaining rings or wave springs add the appropriate suffix behind the part number. On standard materials, no suffix is necessary. An oil dip is provided on carbon steel to prevent corrosion. Stainless steel parts are vapor degreased and go through an ultrasonic cleaning process.

Example: WH-100-PA 1.000" Medium Duty Housing Ring with passivation

 

 

Material: To specify the material add the appropriate suffix below to the end of the part number.

 

Example: VH-50 0.500" Light Duty Housing Ring in Carbon Steel
  VS-100-S02 1.000" Light Duty Shaft Ring in 302 Stainless Steel
  C050-M5-INX 0.500" Crest-to-Crest Wave Spring in Inconel X-750

 

 

302 & 316 Stainless Steel are available for special designs on Smalley wave springs. 17-7 PH C/CH900 Stainless Steel is available for special designs on Smalley retaining rings.
