SPACERS

Spacers for planers: essential parts for robust, safe mounting

Spacers play a fundamental role in mounting flails and hammers on spreaders. They ensure correct spacing and secure attachment between the various components mounted on the rotor, guaranteeing optimum stability and balance during machine operation. There are two main types of spacers for spreaders: smooth spacers and shouldered spacers, each with a specific role depending on the type of flails or hammers used.

Spacers for Spares: Optimizing Flail and Hammer Attachment

Spacers play a fundamental role in the mounting of flails and hammers on spreaders. They ensure correct spacing and secure attachment between the various components mounted on the rotor, guaranteeing optimum stability and balance during machine operation. Here's an overview of available spacer types and corresponding products.

1. Smooth spacers

Smooth spacers are simple cylindrical parts, mainly used to maintain the correct gap between shackles and beams, thus ensuring safe assembly without excessive friction. They are commonly used with straight or twisted shackles for Y and spoon flails, but can also be used to secure certain types of brush hammers.

• Use with shackles: Smooth spacers are installed with straight or twisted shackles to ensure perfect spacing between rotor and flails or hammers. They prevent any direct contact between moving parts, thus limiting wear and ensuring longer component life.

• Versatility: these spacers are also used to maintain a uniform gap in rotors fitted with Herminette hammers, often used for intensive brushcutting work.

2. Shoulder Spacers

Shoulder spacers are designed for installation on either side of brush hammers or heavy-duty hammers, enabling these parts to be secured between the rotor yokes with greater stability. Their specific shape, with a shoulder, helps to lock the hammer securely in place, preventing unwanted movement and ensuring smooth, safe rotor operation.

• Hammer mounting: Shouldered spacers are particularly useful for mounting brush hammers and heavy-duty hammers, which require a more robust mounting due to their weight and function. They ensure that the hammers remain perfectly in place during heavy cutting operations.

• Increased stability: thanks to their shoulder, these spacers ensure that the hammers are held firmly between the rotor yokes, reducing vibration and increasing the life of the cutting system.

Why are spacers essential for thicknessers?

Spacers, whether smooth or shouldered, play an essential role in the smooth operation and durability of a thicknesser. They ensure safe mounting of flails or hammers, guaranteeing precise spacing between moving parts, thus limiting premature wear and reducing the risk of malfunctions.

Advantages of spacers for thicknessers :

1. Component protection: By ensuring sufficient spacing between moving parts, spacers prevent premature wear due to excessive friction between flails, hammers, shackles and rotor.

2. Optimized performance: Well-spaced, well-balanced mounting thanks to spacers enables the rotor to turn smoothly and efficiently, guaranteeing even, precise cutting during brushcutting operations.

3. Longer machine life: By holding parts correctly in place and limiting unwanted movement, spacers help extend the life of rotors, flails and brushcutting hammers.

4. Improved safety: solid, well-spaced mounting reduces vibrations and ensures greater safety during brushcutting operations, especially when using heavy hammers or other heavy tools.
