Spacers are unthreaded tube-like structures which are primarily used to separate assemblies from their housing or each other. Spacers are used for applications where tight tolerances are needed, like PCB mounting. In such applications, spacers allow for increased airflow and prevent potential electrical shortages by keeping components from touching one another. Since spacers are unthreaded, they’re usually paired with a bolt that passes through the spacer to fasten adjacent components.
Custom Spacers
If the spacer you require is not a stocked item or requires specialized materials, finishes, or secondary services, contact us for custom quote information, and we will be glad to assist you in developing the appropriate spacer. As an added convenience, we offer optional design, CAD, tooling, and related services to help you customize your component.
Spacer Manufacturing
Our spacers are available in both standard and metric dimensions in round and hexagonal variations. We offer standard spaces which range in lengths from 3/32” to 2” with diameters from 1.8” to 1-1/2” with clearance holes anywhere from 0.064” to 1”.
In addition to standard configurations and sizes, we also carry swage spacers which will accommodate circuit boards and come in thicknesses ranging from 1/32” to ¼”.
