How do you choose between a washer and a spacer? Despite their visual similarities, their use cases are different. Here's a quick comparison: Washers are used for fastening applications in combination with bolts and nuts. Some reasons to choose a washer include: ? Load distribution ? Liquid protection ? Vibration resistance Spacers are generally used to help locate components along an axis. Other reasons to choose a spacer include: ? Creating space between objects ? Precision machined ??Highly configurable Explore more: https://lnkd.in/gNZgd8XD #mechanicalengineering #fasteners #engineeringsolutions
