Smalley Steel Ring Company Launches NEW Linear Spring

June 20, 2013
Mississauga, Ontario: The Smalley Steel Ring
Company announces the release of a New Linear Spring
Series now available in Canada from RotoPrecision
Inc.
Linear Springs are produced from spring-tempered
wire material that is shaped into waves along the
length of the wire. They act as load bearing
devices having approximately the same load and
deflection characteristics as wave springs but
designed for straight line applications as opposed
to conventional wave springs which are designed to
fit in a circular cavity. This means a linear spring
may be located in an axial direction yet still
provide a radial force.
Linear Springs are now available as a standard part
from Smalley in more than 200 sizes with stock in
carbon and stainless steel. Custom sizes and exotic
alloys are also available. There are
No-Tooling-Charges™ on special designs.

Linear Spring - Sample Applications
|
Detent Preload Application Smalley Linear Springs are used to load pins that are positioned inside grooves so a rotating element cans detent to specific positions. The springs are designed to exert a precise load to give the rotation a desired resistance. |
|
Rotary Vane Application Linear Springs are used to radially load the bottom of the vanes in the pump. The springs energize the vanes against the bore for better sealing. |
