Spacers

What are spacers?

The spacer is a small, completely hollow piece of material (usually metal or plastic) that fits under the head of the screw or bolt, but on top of the insert. These devices are small but essential elements that allow the security of screws, fasteners, and other accessories when used in special configurations and applications.

It also makes it possible to obtain a good aesthetic and functional appearance of certain materials and equipment. For example, creating a small gap between the power supply and the metal cover will help prevent short circuits in the power supply, including the computer's motherboard.

What are Spacers made of?

Spacers are usually made of metal tubing, but some applications require using other spacer materials. Nylon is an option for spacers which must be non-conductive. Depending on the application, it is also available in brass, stainless steel, aluminium, and ceramic materials.

What are the typical applications of Spacers?

• The main function of the spacer is to support or separate one part from another.
