Self Quote Guide

Calculating the set-up cost for custom made spacers is the most difficult part.  If you can interpret these parameters to your spacer, then you can have a price in a few minutes without the need to call or submit for a quote.

 

Our Primary formula for standard or semi-standard aluminum spacers is:    Set-up Cost/Quantity + Cost per part (see below) = Your price per spacer.

 

  • Your set-up cost is $250 if the Spacer you need:

    • Is 6061-T6 Aluminum and
      • has the same outer diameter and inner diameter as a standard spacer you found on the website,
        • but you need a different length of any of the following lengths...
  • Your set-up cost is $500 if the Spacer you need:

    • Fits the description above
      • but you need a different length of any of the following***Length cannot exceed 7-1/2 times the hole size.  e.g. Max length for #4 hole size is 7/8".  Max length for #6 hole size is 1-1/16".
      • Or you need a different length than what is offered in the dropdown boxes and the length is less than 1.000".

 

Cost per part

Once you've figured out the cost of set-up:

  • Find the closest standard spacer offered on the website that is the same length or longer than the spacer you need, then find the price for the quantity you need.

  • Add the set-up cost and the standard part cost you found

  • We assume our standard tolerances of +/-.005 on length and OD, +/-.003 on the hole size.

You now have a total for your custom aluminum spacer.

 

 

Ordering

 

If you like the price and would like to place an order, then Call, Fax or Email to confirm the pricing and time to ship.  When you order:

 

  • We like to know how you're going to pay.  If you provide a credit card, your card will not be charged until your order is ready to ship.

  • Our time to ship usually ranges from 1 week to 3 weeks depending on our workload and the difficulty of your order.  We'll have to quote you a time to ship at the time you place your order.

 

 

If your spacer does not fit these parameters, then you'll need to email sales@aluminumspacers.com for a quote.
