Smalley's Metric Crest-to Crest series are available in dimensions from 6 to 60 mm.Crest-to-Crest springs enable original equipment manufacturers to reduce the size of their assembly by up to 50% while maintaining the same amount of force and deflection as a regular coiled spring. Crest-to-Crest wave springs minimize assembly cost and total assembly size due to the reduced spring cavity required. Available in carbon and stainless steel from stock.
Overlap type wave springs are ideal for bearing specification preload applications or taking up tolerance in an application. Over 2,000 springs are available from stock, 10 mm to 400 mm. Smalley Wave Springs can be manufactured from 5 mm to 2300 mm with No Tooling Costs™ on specials.
Wavo® Springs (RW Series)
Wavo Springs are a compact round wire wave springs designed to fit in tight radial and axial spaces. As an ideal alternative to belleville springs, Wavo Springs provide high and accurate force, while maintaining dimensional stability and precise load / deflection characteristics.
Wavo Springs are stocked in carbon and stainless steel with diameters from ½" to 6". Special designs are available with diameters up to 84".
- Crest-to-Crest® Wave springs
Crest-to-Crest Wave Springs can replace conventional round cable springs while occupying only half the space. Crest-to-Crest Springs offer the same force and deflection as standard coil springs.
Crest-to-Crest springs are stocked in a wide variety of loads and deflections; standard parts are available from 3/8” to 16”. Special designs can be from .200” to 90”; specials are affordable because of Smalley’s No-Tooling-Cost™ process.
Due to smaller and smaller overall dimensions, compression forces (dips) in the field of larger and larger elastic deformations, and more and more varied stiffeners attainable with this complementary technology, an ONDUFIL® spring cleaning machine affords a perfect solution.
Automatic transmissions
Backlash compensation, etc
Mubea produces wave springs with a dimensional range of outside diameter 20 mm to 300 mm. Wave springs are often used to improve gear shift quality in automatic transmissions.Wave springs are designed to meet individual customer requirements.
Crest-to-Crest Wave springs offer the unique advantage of assembly space savings when used to replace coil springs. They can maintain the same force and load specifications of a conventional round wire spring, yet occupy 50% or less of the axial space, resulting in lowered operating heights, free heights, and solid heights.
