TFC have recently introduced a new snap ring series to complement their well-established Smalley Spiral Retaining Ring Series.

Two ranges have been developed in carbon spring steel material to suit Imperial (FHE and FSE) and Metric (FH and FS) sized shafts or bores from 1/2" - 11" and 13mm to 300mm.

In the case of the Metric series, the rings will fit into existing DIN 471 and DIN 472 grooves and can directly replace conventional circlips.

care manufactured by coiling flat wire - this unique process produces a snap ring that has no protruding ears or burrs to interfere with performance.

Smalley Snap Rings are immediately available from stock and free of charge samples are available upon request.

Special designs are available up to 84" or over 2,000mm in diameter and can also be economically produced in stainless steel because coiling produces no scrap.

Smalley Snap Rings can withstand high loads and impact loading, can replace costly components in industrial applications and are quick and easy to install.

Whether you require standard or custom parts, take advantage of TFC's quick delivery, free design service and No-Tooling-Cost manufacturing process.
