A Hex Spacer is a cylindrical mechanical component with a hexagonal outer shape that allows easy tightening using a standard wrench. It is designed to create space between two components, typically used in mechanical assemblies and electronic systems to ensure proper alignment, spacing, and support. The hexagonal shape provides a firm grip, while the internal threading allows for secure connections between bolts or other fasteners.
Hex spacers are highly versatile and used in many industries:
- **Electronics:** Commonly used to mount printed circuit boards (PCBs) or separate them from other components to avoid electrical shorts or provide necessary airflow.
- **Automotive and Aerospace Industries:** Used in mechanical assemblies to provide alignment and spacing in various systems.
- **Computer Hardware:** Hex spacers are essential for mounting motherboards and securing components within computer cases.
- **Robotics and Automation:** Found in robotic arms and other automated systems, hex spacers help secure sensors, actuators, and other components in precise configurations.
- **Industrial Machinery:** Used to align and space mechanical parts in heavy machinery, ensuring accurate positioning and preventing wear from direct contact.
Product Features:
- **Hexagonal Shape:** Allows for easy tightening or loosening using standard wrenches, making installation secure and quick.
- **Corrosion Resistance:** Materials like stainless steel or plated finishes ensure resistance to rust and corrosion, even in harsh environments.
- **Lightweight Option:** Aluminum hex spacers provide a lightweight but strong option for applications where weight is a concern.
- **Insulation:** Nylon spacers are perfect for applications where electrical insulation is required.
