When award winning manufacturer Yasa Motors, who specialise in very high power and torque density axial flux motors needed a spring solution to help out one of their leading Formula One customers, they called upon TFC for help.

Having established a standard product was not available for their specific bearing pre-load problem but, with a maximum deadline requirement of two weeks from concept to final product, TFC were able to design, submit specifications & final approval drawings before delivering the finished product within the time frame.

Herminder Mathary, Yasa Motors, Technical Product Manager worked closely with TFC’s Product Manager, Simon Ward, to create an 80mm stainless steel, nested Smalley Wave Spring and commented: Having dealt with TFC on previous occasions, we were confident a solution could be achieved but we were particularly delighted the time restraints set us were achievable and our customer™s demands were fully satisfied
