In addition to standard Spirolox® retaining rings, Smalley can also manufacture them with a unique self-locking provision. These self-locking rings are ideal for applications with high rotational requirements. They can also withstand the effects of vibration, rapid acceleration, and some impact loading. Self-locking rings provide a mechanical interference that increases the rotational capacity of external rings. The mechanical interference is a small tab on the ring that “locks” into a slot on the opposite turn of the ring.
Smalley has recently added MP35N to the expansive list of materials in which our Retaining Rings and Wave Springs can be manufactured. This unique material was added to our production capabilities because of its superior strength and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make it an ideal option for our customers in the Aerospace, Medical and Oil & Gas industries.
Curious to know where you can meet our team of expert engineers and see both Spriolox® Retaining Rings and Crest-to-Crest® Wave Springs in person? Smalley’s technical team will be traveling to cities around the world to share with you the latest in ring and spring technology.
