Smalley Steel Ring Company is a leading manufacturer of Spirolox Retaining Rings and Wave Springs for the power generation industry. What makes Smalley different is that we coil the ring or spring in place of stamping it, meaning no tooling is required for manufacturing.

Smalley's standard Wind Power Series is available in up to 120" diameters. Standard materials sizes are stocked for production, with delivery in as little as 2 weeks. Over 10,000 parts are available from stock, 1/4" to 16", in both carbon and stainless steel. Ask a Smalley engineer about this new series.

Smalley prides itself on its commitment to the highest quality and performance standards. Each Retaining Ring and Wave Spring is engineered with our No-Tooling-Charge™ process allowing for endless possibilities in dimension and material to suit your application needs.

Having worked with wind mill designers, Smalley Engineers are available to assist with application specific retaining ring and wave spring design. Contact a Smalley engineer today with your design requirements.
