Constant Force Adjustable Spacers

Temper® Load Rings are adjustable spacers that have unique properties: they are compressed at a constant force (permanent adjustment) and can spring back a small, constant value.

The spacers are designed to take up the stack of tolerances in an assembly, and they adjust bearings and the assembly to a specific setting.

Temper®’s proprietary design technology and manufacturing processes result in a highly consistent spacer – This means that you can have the confidence that every Temper® Load Ring will get you the results you expect.

Applications

Temper® Load Rings have been customized for a wide spectrum of consumer and industrial products, including:

• Hydraulic pumps
• Speed reducers
• Electric motors
• Farm tractors
• Mining equipment
  Lawn mowers
• Conveyors
• Irrigation units
• Compressors
• Boat motors
• Sewing machines
• Transmissions
• Industrial Trucks

Characteristics

• Eliminates Shimming
• Optimize Bearing Life
• Improve Accuracy
• Simplify Bearing Installation

Because of its unique properties, you can:

• Compress these adjustable spacers and they’ll spring back at a constant value, always giving you a known force
• Transform assembly with controllable, repeatable procedures that save time and increase accuracy in bearing and assembly adjustments
• Make selective shimming obsolete, meaning less assembly time, lower cost, and better precision
• Simplify bearing installation and optimize bearing life
