· Single Turn Wave Springs
Single turn Wave Springs are perfect for tolerance take up and preloading an assembly. Smalley Single Turn Springs are coiled not stamped, providing for an affordable, precision load, stainless steel option. Wave Springs are stocked from ½” to 16” in both carbon and stainless steel.
· Bearing Preload
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.
Smalley’s Bearing Wave Spring Series comes in metric sizes to match popular bearing sizes. Over 150 standard bearing springs are available from stock, 16mm to 580mm. Specials are available for unique bearing sizes with No-Tooling-Charges™.
