Cat® Spacers are commonly used to provide additional stretch length to lower preload loss or to lower the cyclic stress range of machine operating loads. They are used to establish and maintain the functional relationship of dependent parts in machine systems. Spacers are flat rings made of metal fixed to spread the pressure when tightened between two joining surfaces. Cat® Spacers are thick rings made of metal to provide a standoff between two surfaces. Engineered with a specific application in mind, every Cat® Spacer is designed and manufactured to exact tolerances to ensure proper alignment with existing systems on your Cat® Machine. Cat® Parts are manufactured to precise specifications and are built for durability, reliability, productivity, less environmental impact and reuse.Application:Cat® Spacers are used in the grapple arms of Cat® Machines.
