Precision spacer or shim used in preload mechanisms to control axial clearance and maintain proper bearing tension.
Commonly used trade names and technical identifiers for Spacer/Shim.
This component is used in the following industrial products
"Reliable performance in harsh Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing environments. No issues with the Spacer/Shim so far."
"Testing the Spacer/Shim now; the technical reliability results are within 1% of the laboratory datasheet."
"Impressive build quality. Especially the technical reliability is very stable during long-term operation."
Spacers maintain fixed distances between components, while shims are adjustable thickness components used for fine-tuning preload. In preload mechanisms, shims are often used to achieve exact bearing compression.
Measure the axial gap with precision gauges, then select a shim thickness that provides 0.002-0.015mm interference fit for ball bearings, or follow manufacturer's preload specifications for specific bearing types.
Yes, but stacking increases tolerance stack-up and may reduce stability. Single-piece shims are preferred for critical preload applications to maintain parallelism and reduce interface points.
Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
