Technical Director Mr A Slayne

Tolerance rings are used by some of the world's most prestigious manufacturing companies in the Automotive, HDD and Appliance markets. These rings are essentially circular spring steel fasteners with waveforms around their circumference that create an interface fit between annular components. They are used extensively in applications ranging from mounting bearings, cooling fans and pump impellers, to bolt retention and torque overload protection. Every product is designed in conjunction with customer requirements and performance expectations and is unique design, fit for purpose. Successful applications using tolerance rings are virtually limitless and constrained only by the imagination of industry's design engineers. Our team of application engineers around the world will help you specify the product and prove the benefits.
