What Is the Role of the Spacer
 

Sealing

The most common role of the spacer is to realize the seal. When two mechanical parts are connected, due to inaccuracies in manufacturing and processing, tiny gaps are often created in the connection. These gaps can lead to leakage of liquids, gases and even dust, thus affecting the normal operation of the equipment. The main role of the spacer is to fill these gaps and form an effective sealing layer to prevent leakage.


Gaskets are often used in piping connections, valves, pumps and other equipment to ensure sealing effectiveness. Gaskets are usually made of soft materials, such as rubber or flexible metal, and can adapt to the imperfect shape of the connection and form a tight seal under pressure.

Cushioning

Another important role of spacer is cushioning. In mechanical devices, many parts are usually made of metal or hard materials, which may cause excessive stress concentrations when they come into contact with each other or are subjected to impacts. Shims act as a cushioning material, dispersing impact forces and reducing stress concentrations between parts, thereby protecting equipment from excessive wear and damage.


In particular, spacer are widely used in the suspension systems of automobiles and mechanical equipment. By dispersing and absorbing vibrations and impacts, they can make equipment run more smoothly and extend its service life.

Anti-slip effect

Shims can also provide anti-slip function. In applications where parts need to be prevented from sliding relative to each other, spacer are used to increase the coefficient of friction, thereby enhancing the stability of the connection. For example, in furniture manufacturing, spacer are often used on the bottom of furniture feet to prevent the furniture from sliding on the floor, providing better stability and safety.

Noise reduction

In addition, spacer can be used to reduce noise and vibration. When mechanical equipment is in operation, it generates a variety of noise and vibration that can cause disturbance to the operator and the surrounding environment. Gaskets can reduce noise levels by absorbing and reducing vibrations, creating a quieter and more comfortable working environment.

Correct Installation Method of Spacer

 

Pre-preparation
Before proceeding with spacer installation, it is important to first make adequate preparations. This includes familiarizing yourself with the installation drawings and technical requirements, understanding the material, size and performance characteristics of the spacer, as well as preparing the required installation tools and equipment. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the environment of the installation site is clean and dry, so as not to affect the quality and effectiveness of the installation.


Inspection and cleaning
Before installing the spacer, it is necessary to check and clean the connectors and the installation site. Check the surface of the connecting parts for damage, corrosion or oil and other defects, if necessary, should be repaired or cleaned. At the same time, clean the mounting area of impurities and oil to ensure that the contact surface between the connecting member and the spacer is clean and flat.


Apply lubricant
In order to improve the sealing of the spacer and reduce friction, you can apply an appropriate amount of lubricant on the contact surface of the spacer. The type of lubricant should be selected according to the material of the spacer and the working environment, avoiding the use of lubricants that have corrosive or adverse effects on the spacer. Apply the lubricant evenly and in the proper amount, avoiding too much or too little.


Installation position and quantity
According to the installation drawings and technical requirements, determine the installation position and quantity of spacer. In the installation process, make sure that the position of the spacer is accurate and the quantity is complete to avoid leakage or wrong installation. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the order and direction of the spacer arrangement, to ensure that the contact surface with the connectors fit closely, no gap.


Bolt and nut installation
After the spacer is installed in place, start the installation of bolts or nuts. In the installation process, operate in accordance with the specified tightening sequence and torque to avoid over-tightening or over-loosening. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the threads of the bolt or nut are clean and intact, so as not to affect the connection strength and sealing performance. After the installation is completed, also use the torque wrench and other tools to check whether the tightening torque meets the requirements.


Check and test
After the installation is completed, a comprehensive inspection of the spacer installation site should be carried out.
Check whether the spacer is installed in place, whether there is misalignment or offset phenomenon, whether there is a gap between the connectors or loose and other issues. If any problems are found, they should be adjusted and repaired in time. At the same time, necessary tests, such as pressure tests, leakage tests, etc., should be carried out to verify that the sealing and connection strength of the spacer meets the requirements.

 

 
Maintenance of Spacer
 
01/

Periodic Inspection: It is critical that the condition of the spacer be inspected on a regular basis. Visual inspection can reveal whether the spacer is damaged, aged or deformed, and whether there is leakage, which usually means that the sealing performance has deteriorated. Any problems found should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to prevent the problem from expanding.

02/

Proper Storage: Gaskets that are not used for a long period of time need to be properly stored. They should be stored in a dry, ventilated, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight and moisture. Before storage, it is best to carry out a thorough inspection and cleaning of the spacer to ensure that it is in good condition.

03/

Keep clean: Dust, oil and other impurities may accumulate on the surface of the spacer, which may not only affect its sealing performance, but also accelerate the aging of the spacer. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the surface of the spacer regularly with a cleaner and a soft cloth.

04/

Timely Replacement: Replace the spacer in time according to the usage condition to avoid exhausting its service life. Regular maintenance checks are also necessary to detect and solve problems in time.

05/

Pay attention to the working environment: Try to avoid spacer exposed to high temperature, high pressure, strong acid, strong alkali and other harsh environments, these conditions may cause damage to the spacer. If these unfavorable factors do exist in the working environment, the use of higher performance spacer or other protective measures should be considered.

06/

Correct installation: Installation should be carried out according to the manufacturer's requirements to avoid improper installation. Ensure that the spacer is closely fitted with the equipment and pressed evenly to maintain good sealing performance.
