Products and Cutting Solutions for Slitting Systems

# Lightweight Spacers

TKM offers spacers made of hardened alloyed tool steel or with stainless steel characteristics. The spacers are used together with the stripper rings for the exact positioning of rotary slitter knives on the slitter arbor and for precisely adjusting the knife clearance. For the use with automatic assembly systems, we provide tools with special edge dimensions.

Apart from the standard versions, TKM offers, among other items, lightweight spacers with a weight saving of up to 70% – as specially designed lightweight spacers or with a deeper milling recess.

We manufacture spacers for all common machine types.
