Press Release
Smalley Goes even SMALLER!
March 15, 2016
From medical devices to electronics, the world
around us is getting smaller. “How small can you
go?” This is one of the questions a Smalley engineer
hears all the time … but a better question is how
small do you need? As The Engineer’s Choice™ for
Wave Springs and Spirolox® Retaining Rings we have
the answer!
Smalley’s newly expanded manufacturing capabilities
now allow us to design and manufacture Smalley Wave
Springs and Spirolox Retaining Rings down to 0.165”
diameters!
For over 50 years, Smalley 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
Jamie Madison, Smalley’s Product Engineering
Manager.
How small do you need? Our engineering and
manufacturing teams continue to push the coiling
limits. Challenge us to see if we can design a ring
or spring for your application. Ask Smalley™, is not
just a slogan, it is what we do best; answer design
questions and provide solutions that works best for
your application.
