What makes your Smalley products unique?

Spirolox Retaining Rings are an innovative design that features a no gap, 360° retaining surface without protruding ears to interfere with mating components. Our retaining rings are used in almost every industry and we are a trusted supplier to the aerospace, automotive, oil & gas, and medical fields just to name a few.
Smalley is also the originator of Crest to Crest® Wave Springs which are pre-stacked in series to decrease the spring rate proportionally to the number of turns which saves up to 50% of space compared to conventional coil springs.

What are the Perks?

TFC offer unbridled information to help our customers in their designing and purchasing process. We have an extensive search facility that enables parts to be selected by part number or, if you are unsure of this, you can search by diameter. As authorities within the industry we have extensive application examples, white papers, calculators and so much more to help you make the best choice for your project.
