Types of Spacer

The spacers produced by our company mainly include the following types:

 
 

Round Spacers

Round Spacers are commonly used in applications where the spacer will be visible after installation, as they tend to have a less industrial look than hex or square versions. Similarly, metal spacers are often preferred for improved aesthetics, although round nylon or plastic spacers, brass spacers, and round aluminium spacers are also widely available.

 
 
 

Hex Spacers

Hex Spacers are hexagonal, with flattened sides to help with torque. They are commonly chosen for internal uses (i.e. behind panels or in cases) that will be largely hidden from view, as they are generally deemed less aesthetically pleasing than round spacers.

 
 
 

Switch Spacers

Nylon or plastic switch spacers, such as RX8 wheel spacers, can be used in certain rotary power switch shaft assemblies. They are often a go-to method for creating separation between wafers and screens in a rotary or dimmer switch.

 

 

Advantages of Spacer

 

Improving Rigidity

By making the structure more rigid, the spacers have higher bending and torsional strength, which greatly lengthens the lifespan of the components.

01

Distribution Of Forces

Spacers distribute forces over a wide area, this reduces pressure and minimises damage to the parts.

02

Maintaining Alignment

Spacers maintain precise alignment between the parts, which allows for efficient mechanical systems.

03

Game Reduction

By filling in the space between parts, spacers minimise clearance and vibration, allowing for quiet use.

04

Ease Of Installation

Spacers are easy to assemble and dismantle, which ensures simpler maintenance and repairs.

05

Spacer Customization Options

As professional Spacer manufacturers, we provide customers with comprehensive Spacer customization solutions. From dimensions and materials to surface treatment and structural design, all aspects can be flexibly adjusted according to customer requirements.

 

1. Spacer Size Customization

Size is one of the most critical parameters of a Spacer. Different equipment structures require different Spacer dimensions. We can manufacture precisely according to customer drawings, samples, or technical specifications.

Customizable dimensions include:

Length – Determines the spacing between two components; multiple length specifications are available.

Outer Diameter (OD) – Affects the strength and load-bearing capacity of the Spacer.

Inner Diameter (ID) – Matches different screw or bolt sizes such as M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, etc.

Wall Thickness – Designed according to load-bearing requirements.

 

2. Spacer Material Customization

Different materials offer varying levels of strength, weight, corrosion resistance, and insulation performance. Selecting the appropriate material based on the application environment is essential.

Stainless Steel – Such as 201, 304, 316; excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for outdoor and industrial environments.

Carbon Steel – High strength and cost-effective, commonly used in machinery and industrial structures.

Aluminum – Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, ideal for electronic and communication equipment.

Brass – Good electrical conductivity, suitable for electronic and electrical applications.

Nylon – Provides insulation and corrosion resistance, commonly used for PCB board mounting.

 

3. Thread Customization

Many Spacers are used together with screws or bolts, so thread specification customization is very important. We can provide various thread configurations according to customer requirements.

Thread standards:

Metric Threads: M2, M2.5, M3, M4, M5, M6, M8, M10

Imperial Threads: #4-40, #6-32, #8-32, #10-24

Thread structures:

Female Spacer (Internal Thread)

Male Spacer (External Thread)

Male-Female Spacer (Standoff)

Unthreaded Spacer (Through Hole Spacer)

 

4. Surface Finish Customization

Surface finishing can enhance both the appearance and the corrosion and wear resistance of Spacers.

Zinc Plating – Common anti-rust treatment

Blue Zinc Plating – Improved corrosion resistance

Yellow Zinc Plating – Higher corrosion resistance

Nickel Plating – Bright surface with good wear resistance

Chrome Plating – Strong corrosion resistance

Black Oxide – Commonly used for industrial equipment

Anodizing – Typically applied to aluminum Spacers

 

5. Structural Customization

In many industrial applications, Spacers are not only used as simple spacing components but may also serve structural or positioning functions. Therefore, structural customization is important.

Round Spacer – The most common design

Hex Spacer – Easy to install using tools

Flanged Spacer – Provides improved stability

Custom Shape Spacer – Designed for specialized equipment structures

 

6. Precision Tolerance Customization

In many precision devices, the dimensional accuracy of Spacers is critical. For example, in electronic and automation equipment, even minor dimensional deviations may affect overall structural stability.

Standard Industrial Tolerance – Suitable for general equipment

Precision Machining Tolerance – Suitable for electronic devices

High-Precision Custom Machining – Suitable for precision instruments

FAQ

 

Q: What is the main function of spacers?

A: Spacer sleeves are small but extremely important components in many structures and machines. Their main task is to create the required gap between two components, so they ensure smooth and stable operation of mechanisms, minimizing the risk of damage, friction or other interference.

Q: What are screw spacers called?

A: A standoff is a threaded separator of defined length used to raise one part in an assembly above another. They are usually round or hex (for wrench tightening), often made of stainless steel, aluminum, brass, or nylon, and come in male-female or female-female forms.

Q: Do you need a washer with a spacer?

A: In many cases, washers will suffice. However, when there is a non-standard spec, tight tolerances or special materials needed, spacers will be needed for its high degree of configurability.

Q: Which side do washers go on screws?

A: Place washer on side that will turn and drive into the surface. This is typically the nut side.

Q: When not to use a washer?

A: Washers should generally be avoided when connecting two pieces of the same material with no surface damage concerns, when a fastener has a large bearing surface, or when vibration and environmental factors are not a concern.

Q: Can you screw without a washer?

A: Without a washer, the fastener can distort the material it's being installed into. To prevent this, you need a large bearing surface, which the washer provides. If the fastener and the material it's being driven into are the same – for example, metal to metal – then a washer isn't necessary.
