Manufacturing tolerances
  • Custom part marking
  • Lightweight spacers
  • Nylon spacers
  • Metal spacers
  • Plastic shims

Manufactured to tolerances of ±0.001 in thickness, parallelism and flatness. Available in lightweight, nylon or plastic-shim versions, and with custom marking to identify each part.

Factors to consider

  • Part weight
  • Number of strips to cut
  • Material
  • Precision

The weight, the number of strips to be cut, the material to be processed and the precision required determine the ideal spacer for optimum equipment performance.
