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
