A leading supplier of engineering components to the pharmaceutical industry offers springs that deliver equal deflection compared with conventional coil springs but typically consume 50% less space.

Fastening specialist, TFC showed its range of Smalley Spirawave springs and retaining rings at the recent ComPaMED exhibition, Dusseldorf. TFC is a leading supplier of engineering components to the pharmaceutical industry, providing its customers with a range of high specification products. Spirawave springs deliver equal deflection compared with conventional coil springs but typically consume 50% less space, providing an effective solution to compression applications where radial or axial spaces are tight.

Smalley retaining rings offer shallow material depth, 360 support and no ears to interfere with mating components making them ideal for use in medical applications where axial space is restricted.

TFC has over 1,000 standard Smalley springs and rings in stock, all of which can be easily found using the component finding facility on the TFC website.

For truly unique applications, custom designs can be satisfied quickly without tooling.
