Spirolox Retaining Rings meet aerospace and military specifications. They can be found in thousands of mechanical products around the world. Spirolox Retaining Rings, also known as Spiral Retaining Rings, are available exclusively from Smalley. They have no ears to interfere with mating components in your assembly. Spirals are manufactured by coiling the ring from flat wire. Because coiling produces a retaining ring with no scrap, the Smalley Ring can be economically produced in carbon steel, stainless steel, coppers, and many other alloys.

A Smalley Laminar Seal Ring is a metallic labyrinth seal consisting of multiple rings in a groove. This arrangement of the rings and the specific orientation of the rings are dictated by the application and the severity of the environment.They are produced from metal and are able to withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments. They help in sealing assembly components from contamination. We offer numerous configurations of Laminar seal rings.
Self-locking retaining rings are ideal for applications that have high rotational requirements. This feature utilizes a small tab on the inside turn "locking" into a slot on the outside turn. Self-locking allows the ring to operate at high speeds, withstand vibration, function under rapid acceleration and absorb a degree of impact loading. The self-locking option can be incorporated for both external and internal rings.
