Smalley goes…Smaller!
New advances in ring and spring manufacturing
From medical devices to electronics, the world around us is getting smaller. “How small can you go?” This is one of the questions a TFC engineer hears all the time.
We are pleased to announce that Smalley’s newly expanded manufacturing capabilities now allow us to design and manufacture The Engineer’s Choice™ for Wave Springs and Spirolox® Retaining Rings down to 4mm/0.165” diameters.
For over 50 years, TFC’s engineers have pushed the limits on coiling technology. Smalley’s Crest-to-Crest® Wave springs originated nearly 35 years ago with the promise of space savings and continue to provide spring height reductions of nearly 50% compared to standard coil springs. “We are now able to offer engineers space saving capabilities in applications and industries that have long sought the use of our technology,” states Simon Ward, TFC’s Product Manager.
How small do you need? TFC’s engineering team continue to push the coiling limits. Why not challenge us to see if we can design a ring or spring for your application? Contact our engineers now to answer design questions and provide solutions that works best for your application.
