Spacers

Spacers are small, typically cylindrical or rectangular-shaped, mechanical components that are used to create a fixed separation between two objects. Spacers are often used to maintain a specific distance between two surfaces in a device or machine, or to provide a space for another component to fit within. Spacers are commonly used in electronic and mechanical assemblies to provide clearance for components such as screws, bolts, and wires. They are available in a variety of sizes, materials, and styles to suit different applications. Spacers can be made from a wide range of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics, and can be used in both static and dynamic applications. In addition to providing clearance, spacers can also be used to align components, reduce vibration, and distribute loads.
