Product Selection Differences for Non Metallic Spacers

When selecting non-metallic spacers, there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Material: Non-metallic spacers can be made from various materials such as plastic, nylon, polycarbonate, PTFE (Teflon), or phenolic. Each material has its own properties in terms of strength, durability, chemical resistance, temperature resistance, and electrical insulation.

  2. Design and Configuration: Non-metallic spacers come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, hexagonal, or custom-designed configurations. The design and configuration should match the specific application requirements.

  3. Insulation properties: Non-metallic spacers are often used for electrical insulation purposes. It is important to consider the dielectric strength and electrical resistance properties of the material to ensure proper insulation.

  4. Temperature and Chemical Resistance: Depending on the operating environment, the thermal and chemical resistance of the non-metallic spacer material should be considered to ensure long-term performance and durability.

  5. Load-bearing Capacity: The load-bearing capacity of the spacer is crucial, especially in applications where heavy loads or pressure need to be supported. The material and design of the spacer should be chosen accordingly.

  6. Cost-effectiveness: Consider the overall cost of the non-metallic spacers, including the initial purchase price, maintenance costs, and the lifespan of the spacer to ensure cost-effectiveness.

By evaluating these key differences, you can select the most suitable non-metallic spacer for your specific application requirements.
