Spacer
Spacer disks are disks with a bore (rings) for use in mechanical engineering .
These are used to set defined distances or to compensate for tolerances between different components. These can be gear parts or elements on a shaft such as bearings and gears . Usually, the remaining gap is filled with gauge blocks or feeler gauges and the dimensions of the spacer are then reworked. Alternatively rings are made of laminated sheet metal used, time for which and eliminates costly mechanical Anpassarbeit.
Another area of application is vehicle tuning , where spacers are mounted between the rim and the vehicle to widen the track .
Standardized shims are shims called.
