About Smalley:
Smalley, for over 40 years, has manufactured retaining rings and wave springs using our unique coiling
technology. Smalley has become established as the top manufacturer of spiral retaining rings and flat wire
wave springs. Smalley is ISO 9001, ISO/TS 16949, AS9100 and ISO 14001 certified.
Products:
Wave/Compression Springs:
Smalley Wave Springs offer the unique advantage of space
savings when used to replace coil springs. By reducing spring
operating height, wave springs also produce a decrease in the
spring cavity. With a smaller assembly size and less material
used in the manufacturing process, a cost savings is realized.
Wave springs operate as load bearing devices. They take
up play and compensate for dimensional variations within
assemblies. A virtually unlimited range of forces can be produced
whereby loads build either gradually or abruptly to reach a predetermined working height.
This establishes a precise spring rate in which load is proportional to deflection.
Spirolox® Retaining Rings:
Spirolox Retaining Rings, available exclusively from Smalley, have No Ears
To Interfere® with the mating components in the assembly. Spiral rings offer
a 360° retaining surface, require no special tooling for removal and are
interchangeable with ordinary snap ring grooves.
Constant Section Rings:
Constant Section Rings are often specified for heavy duty or impact loading applications. Smalley offers
eight series of rings from stock in over 1,000 sizes.
Laminar Sealing Rings:
A Smalley Laminar Sealing Ring is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting of multiple rings in a groove.
This arrangement of the rings and the specific orientation of the rings are dictated by the application
and the severity of the environment.
Hoopster Rings:
New from Smalley, Hoopster Rings fit into much shallower grooves than regular snap rings or retaining
rings. Hoopster Retaining Rings are suitable for light to heavy loads and are ideal for thin wall tubes.
Manufacturing Process:
Smalley offers an exclusive Circular-Grain® Process. This process is not a stamping,
but rather a continuous coil that is made from edge-wound, pre-hardened, spring-tempered flat wire.
The flat wire has a grain structure that is linear, providing exceptional strength and dimensional stability.
Smalley’s unique manufacturing process reduces scrap allowing for the economical production of special
alloy products including a large selection of stainless steel retaining rings and wave springs.
No-Tooling-Cost™ Process:
Smalley’s Circular-Grain® Process offers unusual flexibility in production.
There is no special tooling needed, even for prototype or custom configurations. This results in low prototype
cost and quick deliveries. |

Smalley Steel Ring Company is a manufacturer of
Spirolox® Retaining Rings, Constant Section Rings
and Wave Springs. Spirolox Rings, also known as Spiral
Rings offer a 360° retaining surface and are interchangeable
with standard stamped ring grooves. Spirolox retaining
rings require no special tooling for removal and have
No Ears to Interfere® with the assembly. Flat wire wave
springs reduce heights by up to 50% while offering the
same force and deflection as standard coil springs. Wave
springs fit in tight radial and axial spaces.
With over 10,000 standard parts to select from, all
malley parts are available in carbon and stainless steel
off the shelf. Special parts can range from .200” to 120”
in diameter. There are No-Tooling-Charge™ on specials.
Exotic alloys are readily available.
