Edgewinding has been our trusted manufacturing process for over 100 years, providing precise yet flexible solutions to meet your retaining ring and wave spring needs.</p><p>Coiling our rings does not require dedicated punch and die tooling, which are necessary for traditional stamped manufacturing. The flexibility to modify part diameters without tooling replacement allows for improved confidence that our Smalley engineers can tailor a part to meet even the most stringent application constraints.</p><p>Additionally, only the required flat wire material is coiled during edgewinding, virtually eliminating all material waste. When a stamped product is made, it is stamped from a piece of metal sheet, which in turn creates scrap from both inside and outside of the part. In cases where a large diameter or an exotic material is required, the scrap cost increases drastically. If your application requires something other than carbon and stainless steel, Smalley offers over 40 material options to accommodate any environment.</p><p>Learn more about our Custom Parts and Capabilities.</p><p>We’re a quality-driven organization.
