Distance - Universal enclosures in electronic device design allow you to create aesthetically pleasing and durable products without having to invest in expensive technologies known for mass production such as plastic injection molds. However, it is rare for an enclosure to perfectly match the electronics in every way, even if the circuit board designs are made specifically for the enclosure model. In such cases, spacers come to the rescue - they allow to easily determine the position of PCBs and other components of the device.

Types of materials used in the production of spacers
Spacers find a wide range of applications - both in mounting individual printed circuit boards or their sets (stacks), as well as in many mechanical systems, mock-ups and development kits , or... 3D printers and robots . Metal sleeves, most often brass, are perfect for supporting heavier components - especially if relatively long distances are needed (of the order of several dozen millimeters). Metal spacers will also work well in applications operating at high temperatures (e.g. near 3D printer heads or near heat sinks). Plastic elements (most often nylon or polyamide) have a number of other advantages - they provide excellent electrical insulation (which is especially important in systems operating at different potentials, in the network parts of power supplies, etc.), and can also compensate for slight dimensional differences if the accuracy of the corresponding the holes in both plates are too small to allow the use of rigid metal spacers. Distance is a necessary element in the workshop of every electronics and robotics engineer.
Threads, types and shapes of spacers
Metal spacers are most often produced in the form of hexagonal sleeves (although there are also versions with a round cross-section), while in the case of plastic elements, round and hexagonal sleeves are equally common. Hexagonal designs are usually offered with two different threads (internal and external) or both internal threads, while round spacers can have both threads and through, smooth axial holes. In the case of threads, their size is most often given in the metric standard (e.g. M2, M2.5, M3), while for round sleeves, manufacturers simply provide two diameters (outer and inner). The use of spacers with external-internal thread allows for easy assembly of many tiles one above the other by screwing the external thread of one spacer into the hole of the next one.
Spacers available at the Botland store
In this category you will find a wide range of nylon sleeves of various lengths - 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, or 20 mm with a smooth through hole , as well as threaded spacers (F/W) with lengths from 6 to 25 mm. We also supply brass spacers in various lengths, with both M3 and M4 threads. Especially for Raspberry Pi boards, we have prepared sets of spacers with compatible screws and even nuts, the sleeves have M2.5 threads and are 10, 20 or 30 mm long. For people who often DIY and owners of professional workshops, we recommend entire sets of connecting elements made of metal or nylon and offered in convenient, practical organizers.
Spacers - FAQ
Wheel spacers are safe as long as they are installed and used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. It is best to consult the installation of such elements with a qualified car mechanic.
Speaker spacers should be installed with rubber seals to prevent unwanted resonance. You also need to remember to properly soundproof the doors.
The spacers increase the wheel track, which slightly improves the vehicle's grip and cornering control, but otherwise they do not affect the driving characteristics.
The choice of mounting distances depends on the specifics of a particular project. When purchasing, it is worth paying attention to the internal and external diameter, length and material of the spacers in order to best match them to the planned use.
