Drawing-based components

PTFE Spacers

PTFE spacers and stand-offs machined to set assembly distances or isolate contact faces. Specify length, bore and the support needed under fastening load.

  • Tubular, solid and stepped spacer forms
  • Axial length controls the assembly separation
  • Bore, shoulders and end faces to drawing

Part Requirements

These components are made to the required geometry. The drawing defines the finished dimensions and interfaces.

LoadingFastener compression and contact area

Dimension the installed separation

Spacer length establishes the distance between components. Reference that length to the two contact faces and define any shoulder that seats inside a panel.

If a screw passes through the spacer, give the required clearance. A spacer that locates on a pin requires a different bore tolerance from a loose fastener sleeve.

Account for clamping over time

PTFE can change shape under sustained compression. Include the fastener preload and the supporting face rather than selecting a spacer only from outside diameter.

Electrical isolation also depends on the complete mounting arrangement. Define metal contact paths and creepage requirements when the spacer separates conductive components.

Specific answers

Ordering Questions

How does a spacer differ from a washer?

A spacer generally controls a longer axial separation or provides a locating body. A washer usually supplies a thin flat interface.

Can a spacer have a shoulder?

Yes. Specify the shoulder diameter, depth and fit to the panel or housing.
