Plastic washers and spacers are critical components in many industrial and manufacturing applications. They are designed to provide separation and even distribution of loads on surfaces and joints, reducing friction and wear at contact points.
Plastic washers are thin discs with a central hole and are made of plastic materials such as nylon, polyethylene or polypropylene. They are designed to be placed between the head or nut of the screw and the contact surface, allowing even load distribution. They are known for their resistance to corrosion and wear. They also reduce noise and vibration and preserve the surfaces on which they are applied.
Plastic spacers, as their name suggests, have the function of separating two components or surfaces. They are produced in different shapes but the most commonly used is tubular. They are often used in applications where it is essential to avoid direct contact between parts or to reduce friction, or even to allow the passage of fluids or cables.
These plastic accessories are designed to maintain a constant distance between elements, creating a space between them in an easy and versatile manner.
Both plastic washers and spacers are valued for their light weight, chemical resistance and ease of use, and are simple yet crucial components for ensuring a reliable and durable assembly.
They find application in various sectors, including the automotive, electronics, furniture industry and many others.
