Spacers come in different materials, including nylon, stainless steel, brass, ceramic, POM, and aluminum. Metals often provide a more aesthetically pleasing finish for visible applications and nylon is ideal for the high corrosion resistance. The spacer hole is usually round to allow the bolt or screw to pass through. What is the difference between a spacer and a standoff?

The M8 Spacer and the Long M8-1.25 threads (provided separately) are installed with the GAIA’s on the front of Sonus Faber speakers that have a long front spike. The M8 Spacer will provide the same tilt angle as the factory long spikes that come with the speaker. Standoffs are like spacers in that they provide space and have a hex or round-shaped body and two openings. The main difference is that standoffs are usually threaded onto the screw and the threads can be male or female. Threaded Spacers, commonly known as Screw Spacers or Threaded Standoffs, are typically used to enable two components in an assembly to be fastened together, as a distance that is controlled from one another. They can also be used to elevate one part of the assembly above the other.A spacer can be used to position parts within an assembly, to lift sections making sure there is enough room for the heat to dissipate, and to separate or create a space clearance between two items. Spacers can be found in:

Designed to be installed by hand, these Threaded Standoff Spacers won't require the use of assembly equipment. They are suitable for a breadth of applications, and provide easy assembly. Threaded Spacer feature various connection types, shapes, materials and compatible thread sizes, including M4 Standoff. They are also available in a choice of colours to suit your application needs. Spacers are small pieces of material that sit between the screw head and surface to create or maintain a space clearance between two things. Spacers come in a range of different sizes and lengths (2 mm to 50 mm spacer), depending on the space required. Their body shape can be hexagonal or round and they are also compatible with different screws, such as M3 and M4, but they are not threaded.Our Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) range offers heat resistance up to 180C, as well as excellent mechanical strength and stiffness. Resistance to alternating tensile and bending loads is also very good, with superb dimensional stability. The flame resistance rating is UL94 V0.
