Smalley Linear Springs are a continuous wave formed (marcelled) wire length produced from spring tempered materials. They act as a load bearing device having approximately the same load/deflection characteristics as a wave spring. Axial pressure is obtained by laying the linear spring flat in a straight line.
Standard Sizes from Stock
Linear Springs are now available as a standard part from Smalley. Smalley engineers are available to assist with spring design.

Applications
Detent Preload
Smalley Linear Springs are used to load pins that are positioned inside grooves so a rotating element can detent to specific positions. The springs are designed to exert a precise load to give the rotation a desired resistance.
Rotary Vane Pump
Smalley Linear Springs are used to radially load the bottom of the vanes in the pump. The springs energize the vanes against the bore for better sealing.
