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.
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-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 |
