Smalley Wave Springs: Circular-Grain® Wire Shims
Smalley shims are commonly used in conjunction with wave
springs where a backup plate is needed for housings made
of softer metals like aluminum or bronze, and for
packings made of leather, neoprene or similar materials.
Shims can function as spacers to change wave spring
operating heights. Adding or subtracting shims is an
excellent method of adjusting load on a wave spring.
Using a shim spacer can also control tolerance buildups.
