  • Application Spotlight: Wave Springs for Bearing Preload
    There are two types of bearing preload: fixed and spring. In fixed bearing preload, the position of the inner and outer races of each bearing is mechanically fixed using either a dead weight (adhesive based) or through building in an axial adjustment that puts pressure on the bearings. Spring
  • How and Why You Should Use a Wave Spring for Bearing Preload
    You wouldn't drive without a seatbelt, so why would you preload a bearing without a Smalley single-turn wave spring? Let's back up to the basics of bearing preload. A bearing is designed to move freely and has multiple moving parts that work together as one unit. Tolerance stack up from both
  • All Springs are Not Equal (R): Smalley Wave Springs
    malley's wave springs are unique flat wire compression springs that replace traditional coil springs in load-bearing applications. The thin, crest-to-crest design of Smalley's wave springs reduces spring height and manufacturing material usage without compromising function; wave springs provide
  • Bearing Pre-Load
    One of the most common wave spring applications world-wide is a bearing pre-load arrangement as illustrated. Having the proper load will often extend bearing life by lowering operating temperatures, reducing vibration, minimising wear and providing for a quieter smoother performance.
  • Bearing Preload Series Expansion
    Smalley is pleased to announce the expansion of our Bearing Preload Series. The SSB series is a popular choice among engineers, the single turn wave spring helps eliminate bearing play and minimize noise. The constant light/medium pressure they apply removes play between the ball bearings
  • Top 5 Reasons to Use a Crest-to-Crest (R) Wave Spring
    coil spring. They can operate as a load-bearing device to dampen vibration and compensate for dimensional variations within assemblies. Typically, a wave spring occupies a small area compared to the amount of force it can provide. As a result, the use of this product excels within tight axial
  • Bearing Design Considerations for the Engineer
    The torsional spring rate and load capacity of C-Flex bearings is dependent upon length, width, and thickness of the internal flat spring beams.
  • Forklift Tie Rod Saves OEM Cost & Improves Service Life
    Tie rods in forklift steering are traditionally metal-on-metal, which requires periodic re-greasing and leads to a shortened lifespan. They also include a coil spring and two cups behind the ball joint. CCTY Bearing's design utilized a metal on nylon, self-lubricating design that eliminated
