Adjustable Spacers are constructed from high-strength stainless alloys and come in a variety of sizes, ranging from the size of a nickel to large rings with diameters of up to 60”. The rings are designed to fit into a housing or over a shaft where it's crushed by tightening a nut or inserting a cap on the housing. Once in place, the load value remains constant over a large axial displacement. Engineers choose a load during the design process to ensure that the ring doesn't crush beyond its limits during the operation or overwhelm the assembly.
Working with an engineer is the best way to select an appropriate adjustable spacer. At Temper Corporation, our expert engineers will help you determine the best option for your application while considering available cost options.Related Posts
