New Smalley CatalogSmalley’s new catalog combines existing Spirolox Retaining Ring and Smalley Wave Spring selections with series recently released from Smalley. Now a single catalog includes new: Hoopster Rings, Metric Wave Springs, Constant Section Rings and more. Over 10,000 standard parts with free samples. More>>
Low Profile Retaining RingsSmalley 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 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. More>>
Unit Conversion ToolConvert popular spring units such as force, or retaining ring thrust capacities, into metric units with Smalley’s new engineering tool. A simple conversion tool allows for units to be converted such as mass and weight, angular measurements, velocities, temperatures, pressures and densities and more. More>>
Free Retaining Ring & Wave Spring SampleSmalley offers free samples of over 10,000 Spiral Retaining Rings and Wave Springs to test; available from stock in carbon and stainless steel. Spiral rings have No Ears To Interfere™ with mating components. Wave Springs reduce spring heights by 50%. Specials are available from .200” – 120”. More>>

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.
