Conventional Gap and Overlap Type Wave Springs are used in a wide variety of applications. They function with precision and dependability for short deflections and low-medium forces.
These two types of Smalley Wave Springs permit radial expansion or growth in diameter within a cavity without the binding or hang-up normally associated with die-stamped wave washers. Just as their terms imply, the gap type is split to retain a gap between the ends; while the overlap type has overlapping ends. Thus, the ends are free to move circumferentially as the spring outside diameter grows during compression.
Smalley offers 3 different series of single-turn wave springs from stock:
SSR Series- Gap and Overlap Type Wave Springs available in both carbon and stainless steel from 1/2" to 16" diameters
SSR-N Series - Gap Type Wave Springs available in carbon and stainless steel from 3.250" to 7.750" diameters
SSB Series Bearing Preload Springs - Gap and Overlap Type Wave Springs are designed to match popular metric bearing sizes. They are available in carbon and stainless steel in diameters from 9 mm to 580 mm.
