Learning Objectives
Learning Objectives Section
- Identify that Spacers are used to create space between components, often to position pieces of the build correctly.
- Differentiate between Nylon, Metric Plastic, and Click-on Spacers, and the ways they can be used in a build.
- Identify that Steel Washers are used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener.
- Identify that Teflon Washers have low-friction properties and can be used with wheels, as they allow a wheel to spin freely.
Summary
Summary Section
In this Lesson, you will learn about the difference between Spacers and washers. You will see how Spacers create space between build components, and how Steel Washers distribute the load of a fastener, so that you can learn how washers and Spacers can be used together in a build.
