What the OpenBuilds Brass Spacer Does

The OpenBuilds Brass Spacer - 5.1x8x0.8mm (10 Pack) is a small mechanical spacer used to set accurate gaps in hardware assemblies. It helps maintain alignment, control stack height, and separate moving or fixed parts where a thin metal spacer is required.

Brass construction makes the spacer suitable for general-purpose mechanical builds that need a durable, dimensionally consistent part. The 10-pack format supports multi-point assemblies, repairs, and replacement stock for workshop use.

Key Features of the 5.1x8x0.8mm Brass Spacer

  • Brass material: Provides a solid metal spacing component for mechanical assemblies.
  • Thin 0.8 mm profile: Useful for fine spacing adjustments and stack-height control.
  • 5.1 x 8 mm format: Sized for builds that require this specific inner and outer diameter combination.
  • Pack of 10: Suitable for projects using multiple identical spacers or for maintenance spares.
  • OpenBuilds-style hardware part: Designed for motion-system and frame-based assemblies where precise spacing matters.

Where a Brass Spacer Like This Is Commonly Used

This spacer is useful in CNC, 3D printer, robotics, and maker projects that use bolts, wheels, bearings, or plate assemblies with tight spacing requirements. A thin brass spacer can help reduce misalignment caused by over-compressed stacks or uneven part separation.

In maintenance and custom fabrication work, the spacer can also be used when replacing worn hardware or tuning an assembly to achieve the correct fit. The compact size makes it practical for detailed mechanical builds where a full-width washer or thicker spacer would not be appropriate.

Works with matching hardware sizes

These brass spacers are intended for assemblies that require a 5.1 x 8 x 0.8 mm spacer. Buyers should confirm inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness against the target bolt, shaft, wheel, or bearing stack before installation.

Compatible with OpenBuilds-style assemblies

The spacer format is suitable for OpenBuilds and similar motion-system builds where thin spacing or shimming is required. Compatibility depends on the exact hardware stack and clearance requirements of the machine or project.

Requirements

Installation requires a mechanical assembly that uses this spacer size. No software or electronics are required.

What is the OpenBuilds Brass Spacer used for?

The OpenBuilds Brass Spacer is used to create precise spacing in mechanical assemblies. Common uses include shimming hardware stacks, adjusting wheel spacing, and maintaining alignment between parts.

What does 5.1x8x0.8mm mean on a brass spacer?

The dimensions typically refer to the spacer's inner diameter, outer diameter, and thickness. Buyers should match those dimensions to the bolt, shaft, or assembly requirements before use.

Is this brass spacer compatible with OpenBuilds parts?

The spacer is made for OpenBuilds-style applications, but fit depends on the exact hardware dimensions in the assembly. Confirm the required spacer size in the machine or project before installation.

How many spacers are included in the 10 pack?

This product includes 10 brass spacers. The pack format is useful for multi-point assemblies or keeping matching spare parts on hand.

Can I use this 5.1x8x0.8mm brass spacer for shimming a V-wheel assembly?

It can be used in a V-wheel or motion assembly if that exact spacer size is required. The key factor is whether the wheel stack, bolt size, and clearance match the spacer dimensions.

Why use a brass spacer instead of a plastic washer?

Brass spacers provide a rigid metal spacing surface and are suited to mechanical assemblies where consistent thickness matters. Material choice depends on the load, wear, and fit requirements of the application.

Do I need tools or software to install this OpenBuilds brass spacer?

No software is required because this is a mechanical hardware part. Installation only requires the tools needed to assemble or service the hardware stack where the spacer is being used.
