Fine Gauge Aluminum Spacers

The RADTEC 3x5.5x0.5mm Aluminum Spacer set offers a tidy way to achieve precise clearances on RC builds. Finished in orange anodizing, the ten-piece set keeps parts lightweight while adding corrosion resistance.

Usage and Fitment

These spacers are intended for use where a 3mm inner bore spacer is required and a 0.5mm step is needed. They are commonly used to tweak gear mesh or to add clearance in tight linkages without reshimming complete assemblies.

Why Aluminum Works Well

Aluminum combines low mass with good mechanical strength, making it an ideal spacer material for hobby models. The anodized coating improves surface hardness and helps the shims resist wear during repeated installation cycles.

Do these spacers fit a 3mm bolt or shaft?

Yes, the inner diameter is 3mm and they are intended for use where a 3mm bore spacer is required. Confirm the surrounding clearance for the 5.5mm outer diameter before fitting.

Are they suitable for frequent disassembly?

The anodized finish helps durability, so they stand up well to occasional remove and refit cycles. Take care not to nick the edges when removing stacked shims.

Will these affect rotating parts?

A single 0.5mm shim is very light and generally has negligible effect on rotating mass. For high speed applications check balance and clearance when adding multiple shims.

How precise is the 0.5mm thickness?

The set is specified at a uniform 0.5mm thickness for predictable spacing. For critical fits use a caliper to verify individual shim thickness before final assembly.
