TFC Achieves F1 Delivery Performance

When award winning manufacturer Yasa Motors, who specialise in extremely high power and torque density axial flux motors, required a spring solution to help out one of their leading Formula One customers, they called for TFC to help. Having already established a standard product was not available for their specific bearing pre-load issue, but with a requirement of a maximum deadline of two weeks from concept to final product, TFC were able to design, submit specifications & final approval drawings and deliver the finished product within the time frame. Herminder Mathary, Yasa Motors, Technical Product Manager worked very closely with TFC's Product Manager, Simon Ward, to create an 80mm stainless steel, nested Smalley Wave Spring and commented: “Having had previous dealings with TFC , we were confident a solution could be achieved but we were particularly delighted the time restraints set us were achievable and our customer’s demands were fully satisfied” With substantial years of experience, TFC is the leading European supplier of Smalley Spirolox Retaining Rings, Wave Springs and Snap Rings.
