Application Examples
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.
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.
