Smalley’s wave springs are unique flat wire compression springs that replace traditional coil springs in load-bearing applications. The thin, crest-to-crest design of Smalley’s wave springs reduces spring height and manufacturing material usage without compromising function; wave springs provide the same force and deflection as ordinary coil springs with the benefit of enhanced precision.
Relying on bending instead of torsion for efficient functionality, the light-weight wave springs come in a variety of models, each providing specific benefits. Wave spring types include:
Welcome back to the Ask the Expert Blog, where our engineers answer commonly asked ring and spring design questions. This week, our experts field some questions about wave spring available deflection and retaining ring gap sizes.
Smalley Wave Springs are a series of flat wire compression springs offering numerous functional advantages over traditional coil or compression springs. While providing the same force and deflection as a traditional coil spring, wave spring technology enhances load precision and cuts down on material usage by up to 50%, leaving a light-weight, versatile product.
