Low Profile Retaining Rings

Low Profile Retaining Rings

Smalley Hoopster® Rings fit into shallower grooves than regular snap rings or retaining rings. Where retaining rings once were not an option because of groove depth, the low profile, precision circularity & small radial size allow Hoopsters to be unobtrusive components, ideal for thin wall tubes.

Seal It Protect It

Seal It Protect It

A Smalley Laminar Seal is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting of multiple rings in a groove. Sealing an assembly from contamination while withstanding high temperatures and corrosive environments, laminar rings are produced from metal. The arrangement and orientation of the rings are dictated by the application/severity of the environment.

How to Specify, Select and Apply Linear Ball Screw Drives

 

How to Specify, Select and Apply Linear Ball Screw Drives Specifying the right ball screw for a given application will ensure machine accuracy, repeatability and life while minimizing the total cost of ownership.

A ball screw drive translates rotational motion to linear motion or vice versa and can apply or withstand high thrust loads--upward of 750,000 lb static capacity using a Ø6.000 in. ball screw assembly--with efficiency typically greater than 90%. Ball screws help guide, support, locate, and accurately move components and products in a range of automation applications.

Reid Complimentary CAD for Industry

Reid Complimentary CAD for Industry

Computer Aided Design–commonly referred to as CAD–is engineering and design software that enables the user to produce computer-designed, 2-dimensional (2D) drafting prints and 3-dimensional (3D), digital models of products. CAD is the norm for designers and engineers in aerospace, architecture, automotive, and shipbuilding.
