Compression spring C series

Crest-to-Crest Wave Springs are pre-stacked in series, decreasing the spring rate proportionally to the number of turns. Uses are typically applications requiring low-medium spring rates and large deflections with low-medium forces. Among the major advantages, this design eliminates the need to keep the wave crests aligned. The need to use a key locating device, or to insert a shim between individual springs is not necessary. Because the spring is integrally formed, the wave peaks hold their configuration. As a replacement for helical compression springs, Crest-to-Crest Springs can develop similar forces, yet occupy one-half (1/2) or less the axial space. This allows for strict space constraints. Crest-to-Crest Wave Springs will maintain the same force and load specifications of a conventional round wire spring, but with the advantages of resultant lowered and compacted operating heights, free heights and solid heights. Smalley offers 4 different sériés from stock, with over 4,000 springs to select from: •C Sériés o inch sériés available from .188" to 2" in carbon and stainless Steel •CS Sériés o inch shim end sériés available from .312" to 2" in carbon and stainless Steel •CM Sériés o Metric sériés available from 5 mm to 60 mm in carbon and stainless Steel •CMS Sériés o Metric shim end sériés available from 8 mm to 60 mm in carbon and stainless Steel
