Metal Standoff Spacers

Metal standoff spacers are essential mechanical components used to create precise spacing between parts in an assembly, particularly in electronic devices, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and enclosure systems. These spacers help maintain structural integrity, improve thermal airflow, and simplify mounting.

Available in various configurations like male-to-female, female-to-female, and male-to-male, our metal standoff spacers are designed for both threaded and non-threaded applications. Common shapes include hexagonal, round, and flanged types, with full support for custom dimensions and metric or imperial threads.

Product Features

• Versatile Threading Options: Available in internal, external, or through-hole configurations

• Shape Variations: Hex metal spacers, round standoff spacers, and low-profile designs

• Wide Size Range: M2 to M12, or custom small to large diameters

• High Mechanical Strength: Suitable for high-load assemblies and industrial equipment

• Custom OEM Support: Tailored solutions for different lengths, thread types, and finishes

• Bulk Supply Available: Perfect for high-volume industrial or consumer electronics projects

Manufacturing Process

All metal standoff spacers are manufactured using advanced CNC turning, precision threading, and automated chamfering to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface uniformity.

Typical production steps include:

1. Material selection and cutting

2. CNC machining and threading

3. Deburring and polishing

4. Optional knurling or flange shaping

5. Surface treatment

6. Full inspection and packaging

We support both prototype machining and mass production, using multi-spindle CNC lathes and automatic feed systems for high efficiency.

Material Options

We offer a wide range of metal materials for different application needs:

• Stainless Steel (304 / 316): Corrosion-resistant and ideal for outdoor or harsh environments

• Aluminum (6061 / 7075): Lightweight and suitable for anodizing

• Brass (C3604): Great electrical conductivity and easy machining

• Steel (Carbon or Alloy): High strength and cost-effective

• Titanium (Optional): Ultra-light and high-strength for aerospace or medical applications

Surface Treatments

To enhance both function and aesthetics, the following surface finishing options are available:

• Anodizing (clear, black, red, blue for aluminum)

• Nickel or chrome plating (for steel or brass)

• Zinc plating (blue-white, black, yellow passivation)

• Passivation (for stainless steel spacers)

• Black oxide or powder coating (optional)

Surface treatments improve corrosion resistance, reduce wear, and improve visual consistency.

Precision & Inspection Capability

We apply strict quality control throughout production:

• Thread Accuracy: Metric (M2–M12), UNC, UNF, or custom

• Tolerance: ±0.01 mm ~ ±0.05 mm, depending on part requirements

• 100% Thread Gauge Test: Ensuring thread compatibility

• Visual and Dimensional QC: In-line and final inspections

• Material Certificate & ROHS Compliance: Available upon request

Our factory is ISO 9001:2015 certified and follows international quality standards for every batch.

Application Areas

Metal standoff spacers are widely used in:

• PCB mounting and electronics assembly

• Enclosure and panel installations

• Motherboards, control boards, and power supplies

• LED panels and sensor devices

• Automation equipment and robotics

• Telecommunications and networking racks

• Automotive electronics and embedded systems

Whether you're building compact wearable devices or industrial control units, custom CNC standoff spacers offer optimal spacing and secure mounting.
