Ingersoll-Rand Spacer 22138770 High Quality Screw Air Compressor Parts Wholesale
A Spacer is a precision-machined component designed to maintain a fixed distance between two parts within an assembly. Typically a simple, tubular, or ring-shaped piece, it is used to ensure proper alignment, prevent over-tightening, reduce friction, and manage loads and tolerances. Spacers are fundamental in creating reliable and accurately positioned mechanical systems across countless industries.
The primary function of a spacer is to provide precise separation and positioning. Its specific purposes include:
- Maintaining Exact Distance: Ensuring a specific gap is held between components
- Preventing Over-Compression: Protecting sensitive components from being crushed during assembly
- Managing Axial Load: Transmitting force along the length of a bolt or shaft
- Alignment and Positioning: Aligning components correctly on a shaft or within a housing
- Heat Dissipation: Creating an air gap for thermal management
- Installation: The spacer is slid onto a bolt, shaft, or rod between components
- Assembly: Fastener is tightened, making contact with mating surfaces
- Load Transfer: Acts as physical stop, transferring compressive load
- Alignment: Fills space completely to keep components concentric
