Double Spacers (set of 4)

Quick Answer: The Double Spacers (set of 4) are four angle-section metal strips with fixing holes, supplied as an accessory for mounting racks or holders on laboratory equipment. Spacers of this type set a fixed gap or height between two parts, so that a rack, tray or holder sits level and in the right position.

What Can Be Said About These Spacers

This is one of the less self-explanatory items in the range, so it is described from what the listing shows. The photograph shows four identical strips of pale metal, each bent into an L-shaped angle section, with small holes along the upright face. Three are stacked together and one lies separately, which matches the set of 4 in the title.

Spacers are used wherever two parts must be held a fixed distance apart: between a platform and a rack so the rack clears the fixings beneath it, or between two holders so they sit side by side at a set spacing. “Double” usually indicates a spacer that works across two positions or doubles a standard height, but the listing does not define it, nor does it name the equipment the spacers are made for.

For that reason the most useful step is to check the model of shaker, mixer or rack system you intend to use them with before ordering. Metal angle strips of this kind are rigid and resist the vibration of mixing equipment, which is why they are used in place of plastic spacers on moving platforms.

Specifications

Typical Uses of Spacers Like These

• Raising a rack or holder so it clears screws or fittings on a platform
• Setting an even gap between two holders mounted side by side
• Replacing lost or bent spacers in an existing accessory set

Care & Handling

• Fit all four spacers before tightening any fixing, then tighten evenly
• Check fixings after the first hours of use on vibrating equipment
• Keep the set together so the spacing stays consistent
• Wipe with a damp cloth and dry; remove corrosive spills promptly

Frequently Asked Questions

What are double spacers used for?

They hold two parts a fixed distance apart, for example a rack above a platform or two holders side by side, so the parts sit level and in the right place.

How many spacers are in the set?

Four, as the title states, and the listing photograph shows four identical angle-section strips.

Which equipment do the spacers fit?

The listing does not name it. Send us your shaker, mixer or rack system model and we will confirm whether these spacers match it.

What are the spacers made of?

The photograph shows pale metal angle strips. Metal spacers stay rigid on vibrating platforms, where plastic spacers can flex or crack.

Why fit all four spacers before tightening?

Tightening one corner first can pull the mounted part out of line. Placing all four and then tightening evenly keeps it level.

Do the spacers need checking during use?

Yes. Vibration can loosen fixings over time, so check them after the first runs and then at regular intervals.
