Single turn wave springs are ideal for bearing preload. The wave spring preloads the bearing through its outer race, taking up play in the bearing. By preloading a bearing, you will reduce bearing damage and wear. This particular application benefits from the wave spring by preventing sliding between the rolling elements.
Smalley’s Bearing Wave Spring Series comes in metric sizes to match popular bearing sizes. Smalley has over 150 standard bearing springs available, ranging from 16mm to 580mm. Specials are available for unique bearing sizes with No-Tooling-Charges™.

We have production facilities to manufacture a large range of compression springs, either parallel or conical, with or without ground ends.
It will always be of help to know where a spring is designed to fit. What are the sizes of the hole or shaft?

Disc springs are conically-shaped, washer-type components designed to be axially loaded. What makes disc springs unique is that based on the standardized calculations of DIN 2092, the deflection for a given load is predictable and the minimum life cycle can be determined. Disc springs can be statically loaded either continuously or intermittently, or dynamically subjected to continuous load cycling. They can be used singularly or in multiples stacked parallel, in series or in a combination thereof.
- A wide range of load/defl ection characteristics
- High load capacity with small defl ection
- Space savings - high load to size ratio
- No set under design loads
- Longer fatigue life
- Inherent dampening especially with parallel stacking
- Flexibility in stack arrangement to meet your application requirements

We have production facilities to manufacture a large range of components from flat and square section material. These facilities include multislide, power presses, special purpose and standard tooling.
Clips and pressings can be manufactured from a wide range of materials to suit their design and functional requirements.
We can manufacture components from:
- Carbon and Stainless Steels
- Beryllium - Copper
- Phosphor - Bronze
- Brass
- Aluminium
- Copper
- Nickel Base Alloys
We do have experience in the force testing of flat springs using jigs and fixtures. Calculations of force is a very lengthy process and in many cases force requirements can only be verified by prototype production and testing. We have specialised personnel able to produce small sample batches of components ready for testing before resorting to the production of expensive tooling for bulk production.
We suggest that you contact our technical department for advice before commencing any project that involves the use of clips and pressings.

The ideal complement to ball bearings
Ball bearings run smoothly and noise-free when pre-loaded with our Original SCHNORR® "K" disc springs. They are available in slotted and in non-slotted versions for bearings up to a diameter of 360 mm. Depending on the purpose for which they are used one or more disc springs may be specified. Since in particular cases the inner ring rather than the outer ring of the ball bearing should be preloaded all "K" disc springs are designed such that the outer diameter suitable for one size of bearing will also fit the inner diameter of another size of bearing. For example, a "K" disc spring which is designed for preloading the outer ring of a size 6302 bearing can also be used to preload the inner ring of a size 6205 or 6305.

The NEG'ATOR extension spring represents the most basic, yet most versatile, type of constant force springs. It is a prestressed flat strip of spring material which is formed into virtually constant radius coils around itself or on a drum. When deflected, the spring material straightens as it leaves the drum. This straightened length of spring actually stores the spring's energy through it's tendency to assume its natural radius.
The full rated load of the spring is reached after being deflected to a length equal to 1.25 times its diameter. Thereafter, it maintains a relatively constant force regardless of extension length. Load is basically determined by the thickness and width of the material and the diameter of the coil.
Fatigue life of NEG'ATOR springs ranges from 2,500 cycles to over a million cycles depending upon the load and size of the spring. Working deflections of 50 times the drum diameter can be achieved. A wide variety of mounting configurations can be used such as cavity mounts, multiple spring mounts, etc., depending on the application. End connections can also be varied to fit the design situation. Hunter's own experienced engineers can help you select a spring design to meet your space, life cycle, load and operation requirements.

The characteristic benefits of original SCHNORR® disc springs include:
- Load deflection curves of straight, progressive or degressive character according to the selection of spring arrangement and dimension.
- Simple adjustment of the spring stack length by the addition or removal
of individual springs, thus altering the spring stack characteristic.
- Efficient use of space with high spring forces obtainable with small deflections.
- Largely self damping, particularly with parallel stacking.
- No setting or fatigue under normal loads load.
Long service life
- Flexibility in application of the disc springs can lead to a reduction in
stock levels.
By means of these characteristics, the original SCHNORR® disc spring has developed such a wealth of application areas that nowadays there is scarcely an engineering area where it is not used.

DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION
RINGFEDER® Friction Springs consist of a series of separate inner and outer rings with mating taper faces. Under the application of an axial load F the wedge action of the taper faces expands the outer rings and contracts the inner rings radially, allowing axial deflection.
An effective taper face i.e. one half inner ring and one half outer ring is defined as one element.
The rings are manufactured from high quality spring steel. They are rolled or turned, calibrated for size, hardened and tempered. The rings are then given a final dimensional check.
Before despatch, every complete spring is mounted according to the assembly drawing, several times block loaded and checked against diagram data.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RINGFEDER® FRICTION SPRINGS
1. Absorption/damping of high kinetic energies
2. Absorption of high kinetic energies at small component sizes
(e.g. overload protection)
3. Versatility in design
4. High spring work combined with low weight and volume
5. Overload-safe in blocked position
6. Characteristics independent of loading rate
7. Diagram independent of temperature
8. Parallel and series arrangement of springs
9. Force-travel Diagram

Advantages of Machined Springs:
Quality-reliability
Repeatability-predictability
Precision elasticity
Integration with the entire product
Reduction of separate assemblies
Precise spring rates
Reduction of complexity and cost
When Helical Products Company revolutionized coupling technology with the HELI-CAL Flexure Concept over 40 years ago, design engineers around the world discovered more reliable alternatives to traditional couplings, U-joints, and precision springs. Today, millions of HELI-CAL Flexures can be found in applications ranging from satellite instruments and scientific apparatus to conveyors and oil-field equipment.
The most demanding extension, compression, torsion, and lateral bending and translation spring applications can benefit from HELI-CAL Flexures because of their superior function and inherent versatility. HELI-CAL Flexures benefit overall system designs through enhanced functionality, increased precision and cost reduction as a result of true Value Engineering. Predictable and repeatable elastic performance is close at hand when one chooses HELI-CAL Flexures.
The final result is an elegant, single-piece component designed for the full extent of your workload characteristics in all operational modes, not just a single functional phase. The strengths fundamental to the original HELI-CAL Flexure Concept can expand your engineering horizons. Now you can dream!

SPIR'ATOR® Prestressed Spiral Springs
The SPIR'ATOR prestressed spiral spring is produced by reverse winding a NEG'ATOR on an arbor and enclosing it in a case. Rotational energy can be obtained from either the arbor or case or, when linear motion is required, through use of a pulley and cable attachement.
The unique design of this encapsulated spring yields a compact power source which operates with higher working stress and can provide more than twice as many revolutions as a conventional power spring in the same size case. With torque and deflection being equal, a SPIR'ATOR generally requires 20% less space than a power spring. Most importantly, this power package creates a low torque gradient.
