Flat spacers are fundamental fastening components designed to provide uniform spacing and load distribution between mating surfaces. Constructed from materials like stainless steel, brass, nylon, or fiber, these spacers feature a simple yet versatile flat disc shape, making them essential in countless industrial, electronic, and mechanical applications. Our company manufactures flat spacers with precision stamping, laser cutting, or injection molding techniques, ensuring consistent thickness, smooth edges, and accurate hole diameters to meet rigorous quality standards.
The manufacturing process varies by material: stainless steel and brass spacers are precision-stamped from sheet metal for high-volume production, while nylon spacers are injection-molded for dimensional accuracy. Laser cutting is used for custom shapes or non-standard materials like fiber or rubber. For metal spacers, surface treatments like zinc plating or black oxide enhance corrosion resistance; plastic spacers may undergo annealing to reduce stress. Each spacer is inspected for thickness uniformity, burr-free edges, and hole alignment to ensure optimal performance.
Flat spacers serve multiple functions: they prevent metal-on-metal contact to avoid galvanic corrosion, distribute clamping force evenly to prevent surface damage, and create precise gaps for ventilation or component clearance. They are widely used in automotive assemblies (between engine components), electrical panels (isolating busbars), and furniture manufacturing (leveling legs). We offer flat spacers in standard sizes (from 3mm to 50mm diameter) and custom thicknesses, with material options tailored to regional environmental needs (e.g., marine-grade stainless for coastal areas).
As a flexible manufacturer, we specialize in custom flat spacer solutions. Clients can request specialized materials (e.g., non-conductive mica for electrical isolation), unique shapes (oval, square, or custom cutouts), or adhesive-backed designs for easy installation. We provide custom printing or etching for identification purposes and support bulk orders with wholesale pricing for distributors. Our engineering team assists in material selection and design optimization to ensure spacers meet specific application requirements, from high-temperature resistance to chemical compatibility.
Our flat spacers represent the epitome of functional simplicity and reliability, serving as indispensable components in diverse industries. By choosing our products, clients gain access to high-quality spacers that enhance assembly integrity and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
