Spirolox® Retaining Ring Tooling Guide

Smalley now offers “standard” assembly tooling for the installation of Spirolox retaining rings. Each Assembly Tool is designed to facilitate loading a specific ring size ring in a housing or on a shaft and tools are available incrementally for retaining ring sizes up to 2 in or 49 mm in diameter. 

The Smalley Advantage

By being an industry leader in the retaining ring field, Smalley is at the forefront of innovation and design. Our approach of offering performance, cost-effectiveness, and convenience is something that can only benefit the ultimate success of a project.

Custom Engineering and Design Assistance

While we offer more than 10,000 standard stock products, there’s no guarantee that one of these will exactly match your specific application. Smalley engineering can develop custom/application specific installation tooling for Spirolox Retaining Rings. Tooling can be developed to assist with either manual or automated assembly. If your specifications don’t match a Smalley part number, contact a Smalley engineer to design and prototype a part that fits your needs. Diameters can be manufactured from .165” - 120” and 5 mm - 3000 mm, with No-Tooling-Charges™.
