There are many unique uses for spacers. A spacer is a thin piece of material that is typically used to fill the space between 2 objects. A spacer can vary widely in thickness or shape. It can be thin enough to be considered a shim, or thicker than a typical stamped product. They help to cut back on wear and tear, offer support, and can even provide a level surface. When you are in need of custom-made spacers, choose M/S. S. B. Enterprises Manufacturing.
Spacers are either Stamped or Machined and are Hardened & Ground to achieve geometrical parameters. These are generally used to adjust the gaps in assemblies. The material options can be Plain Carbon Steel or Alloy Steels.
- Spacers prove useful in drive assemblies to locate components and isolate the moving parts of ball bearings from adjacent components.
- Spacers are typically used to adjust the clearance or space between two parts.
- They may also be used to fill gaps between parts subject to wear and are commonly used with ball bearings.
