1.与具有相同变形量的圆线弹簧相比，负荷能够达到相同水平还是更高水平？ 

我们可以通过对波数、材料厚度和圈数等进行各种改良来增加弹簧弹性系数。对顶弹簧的功能类似于各种应用中的圆线弹簧。Smalley 工程师可帮助您确认适合特定设计要求的波簧。

2.为什么 Smalley 单圈弹簧有缺口？这种弹簧为何比冲压垫圈更优？

1.您的零件应用于哪些行业？

Smalley 在全球拥有数千家客户。我们面向各种环境和应用制造零件。尽管我们的产品几乎遍布各个行业，但我们尤其在航空航天、汽车、工程机械、石油和天然气以及医疗行业拥有专业知识。您还可以在众多其他一般的工业市场发现 Smalley 零件，实际上，我们提供的零件可用于各种产品，从鞋子到火星着陆器，不一而足！

2.您的目录零件是否由镍铬合金-Inconel 制造？这是否仍为标准件？

根据产品不同，我们采用碳钢、17-7 不锈钢、302 不锈钢和 316 不锈钢等标准材料。然而，Smalley 可以采用各种特殊合金制造目录中的零件，而无模具成本。我们的材料仓库备有数百种生产准备就绪的合金。如果您在我们的零件目录中找不到符合您要求的标准件，请联系工程部门，我们会找到合适的解决方案。

3.您如何制造零件？

Quality parts make for an exceptional medical device. For many years, Smalley has been a trusted supplier to the medical industry. Our recent certification to ISO 13485 is another indicator of our dedication to delivering the highest quality retaining rings and wave springs on the market.

Smalley has again been awarded the GM Supplier Quality Excellence Award for the fifth consecutive year.

This accolade is awarded only after a supplier passes a rigorous quality audit that covers every aspect of production to delivery. Smalley’s commitment to quality and the automotive industry is evident by our pending upgraded certification to IATF 16949:2016.

1. Do Spirolox rings fit stamped ring grooves?

Yes, Spirolox rings are designed to fit into grooves for stamped or Truarc style snap rings without the downside of protruding “ears”. Smalley has a published interchange listing to help you identify a Smalley ring replacement, or let us know the Truarc part number you are using and we’ll be happy to identify the appropriate ring for your application.

1. Can a Wave Spring be Made with the Same or Higher Spring Rate, Compared to a Helical Coil Spring? 

Yes, we can increase spring rate with various modifications such as the number of waves, material thickness, and number of turns. Crest-to-Crest springs can function similarly to helical springs in a variety of applications. Smalleys engineers can help you identify the correct wave spring for your specific design requirements.
