Gap Type These two types of Smalley Wave Springs permit radial expansion or growth in diameter
Wave Spring 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.
For example, the O.D. of a Gap Type Wave Spring would fit .020 loose per side in a bore.
Its I.D. clears a shaft by .010 per side. As the spring is deflected, the O.D. and I.D. grow
larger until the O.D. contacts the bore. Continued deflection causes the gap ends to
move closer together while the O.D. presses against the bore. An Overlap Type Wave
Overlap Type
Spring permits this type of cycling action in a similar manner.
Wave Spring
Crest-to-Crest®
Crest-to-Crest Wave Springs are prestacked in series, decreasing the spring rate
proportionally to the number of turns. Uses are typically applications requiring
low-medium spring rates and large deflections with low-medium forces. Among
major advantages, this design eliminates the need to keep the wave crests aligned.
The need to use a key locating device, or to insert a shim between individual springs
is not necessary. Because the spring is integrally formed, the wave peaks hold
their configuration.
continued
Nested
Nested Wave Springs are pre-stacked in parallel from one continuous filament of flat
wire. The need to stack individual springs for higher loads is no longer necessary. Nested
springs result in a spring rate that increases proportionally to the number of turns. They
can exert tremendous forces, yet maintain the precision of a circular-grain wave spring.
In many a pplications, Nested Wave Springs replace Belleville Springs, particularly in
cases where a high but accurate force is needed.
WAVO®
Wavo Springs are produced from round-section wire to provide higher loads while
maintaining the accurate loading found in wave springs. As an alternative to Belleville
Springs, the Wavo provides similar loads but with an accurate, predictable spring rate.
Linear Springs
Linear springs are a continuous wave formed (marcelled) wire length produce from
spring tempered materials. They act as a load bearing device having approximately the
same load/deflection characteristics as a wave spring.
Forces act linearly or radially depending on the installed position. Axial pressure
is obtained by laying the spring flat in a straight line. Circular wrapping the spring
produces a radial force or outward pressure. Linear springs are available cut to length
or as a continuous coil, for the user to cut as needed.

Smalley narrow section wave springs were originally designed to pre-load packings in telescoping hydraulic cylinders. They have also
found other applications where working space is highly limited. This Smalley Wave Spring series is designed to fit into a bore with a light
snap to assure perfect concentricity between the wave spring and assembly. When these narrow section wave springs are compressed,
radial expansion is taken up by the gap in the spring to eliminate binding.

Smalley Circular-Grain bearing preload Wave Springs eliminate play and minimize bearing noise. The constant light/medium pressure they
apply removes play between the ball bearings and the bearings’ inner and outer races. Preloading can reduce the possibility of bearing
damage due to vibration (vibratory loading) and wear due to repetitive and non-repetitive runout.

Bearing Preload is the process of adding a sustained axial load, independent of external loads, to the bearing.
An axial preload ensures constant contact between the ball complement and bearing races reducing or
eliminating both modes of play. Spring Preload, a versatile execution of Bearing Preload, utilizes single turn
Wave Springs to add the necessary preload forces despite dimensional variation and thermal expansion.
Properly preloading a bearing can increase its life and eliminate the vibration and noise that results from
specified clearance, manufacturing precision, and wear.
Bearing without a preload: Clearance between Bearing with a preload: The ball complement
components can cause vibration and wear. and bearing races mate reliably reducing or
eliminating vibration and wear.
Use this cross-reference guide to select the appropriate Wave Spring for your bearing size. The numbers represent typical standard bearing
part numbers and/or the suffix of a standard bearing size.

Detent Preload
Smalley Linear Springs are used to load pins
that are positioned inside grooves so a rotating
element can detent to specific positions. The
springs are designed to exert a precise load to
give the rotation a desired resistance.
Smalley Shims are commonly used in conjunction with wave springs where a back-up 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.

Spring Tester
Springs are inspected for load, deflection, free height and
spring rate with this compression spring tester, designed
and built by Smalley. Main components of the tester are
described below.
Fatigue Tester
Fatigue cycling is often a consideration when designing
compression springs. Testing provides a more accurate
prediction of actual cycle life and is recommended
whenever cycle life is critical or when calculations show
little margin over the cycle requirement.
