This Fall, Smalley will launch a nested wave spring in a crest-to-crest configuration. According to the spec sheet, these springs combine the deflection characteristics of a crest-to-crest wave spring with the force output of a Spirawave nested spring. Wave springs are ubiquitous across industries. Manufacturers of machinery and equipment order wave springs for die applications, power tools and industrial automation systems. Wave springs are also commonly specified in lifesaving medical devices and robotic surgical instruments.
