Spacer Ring / Adjustment Shim 60x120x2mm
The spacer ring is an adjustment component used in mechanical systems of heavy machinery like JCB, Caterpillar, Komatsu,. It is responsible for eliminating axial play and ensuring the correct positioning of components in pin connections, axles, and joints. It provides connection stability, protects components against excessive friction, and significantly extends the service life of the entire kinematic linkage.
Technical Specification:
- Dimensions: 60 mm (internal diameter) x 120 mm (external diameter) x 2 mm (thickness).
- Application: Adjustment of assembly clearance in axles, steering knuckles, cylinder mountings, and arm joints.
- Function: Precision fitting of components, vibration reduction, and stabilization of pin operation.
Workshop Tip: When eliminating play in machine joints, 2 mm thick spacer rings should be selected to allow for free movement of the joint while completely removing lateral "play" or side-to-side movement. Excessive axial play leads to accelerated wear of seals (dust seals) and the bushings themselves. Before installation, it is recommended to clean the contact surfaces of corrosion and old grease to ensure a perfectly precise clearance measurement.
