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
Fleet Maintenance: Wheel Bearing Preload vs. Endplay
What’s the best way to ensure a safe, consistent setting for every wheel bearing in your fleet? The debate traditionally came down to bearing preload versus endplay: two different approaches to installing wheel ends while allowing the bearings to spin freely. In real-world driving conditions, even a slight amount of endplay inevitably leads to a […]
Adjustable Bearing Spacers for Industrial Conveyors: Simplified Maintenance and Longer Bearing Life
Bearing spacers are a simple yet crucial part installed throughout industrial conveyor systems. The bearings themselves are what allow all of the conveyor rollers to spin freely, and every individual bearing requires precision spacing to ensure smooth operation. The easiest, most cost-effective way to achieve proper bearing spacing is by installing Temper’s adjustable bearing spacers. […]
Special Engineering Considerations for Aerospace Metal Seals
Aerospace metal seals pose many unique challenges to manufacturers. Due to the highly sensitive nature of today’s flight equipment, aerospace seals must be built with precision while delivering absolute reliability in some of the most extreme operational conditions. Of course, high-temperature seals are one of the main concerns of the industry: the high temperatures that […]
