Standoffs
Standoff fasteners perform an essential role in aviation construction. Designed and installed to maintain a gap between two other components, standoffs help perform several functions. In some instances, standoffs can be used to promote the accurate positioning of screws and fixers, however more common reasons for the use of standoffs include to provide additional thermal insulation, to reduce friction, or to promote airflow between the two parts. Although standoffs are often used in a similar context to spacers, standoffs are threaded and, as such, in addition to maintain the gap between two component parts, they offer additional fastening capabilities and contribute to the strength or rigidity of the airframe assembly.  Available in female-female, male-female and male-male configurations, standoffs usually have a hexagonal head, to allow for convenient adjustment with a wrench.

At FIT, our engineers and technicians possess the technology and resources to precision produce standoffs from a range of materials to meet our clients’ varying needs.
