al-spacer50

al-spacer50
compact 50 degree offset spacer

This 50-degree offset spacer is packed with saeng technology. By interlocking the top cap with the body, we were able to shorten the length, save weight, and increase strength. Both ends carry the atomLink signature nibbed disc indexing system for adding atomLink components, including every quick scan and cockpit mount. The outside has indexing marks that help to reset a joint to its last location. This is especially handy when setting an instrument to a precise position or needing up to 50 degrees of offset. Each al-spacer is manufactured in an ISO 9001 facility in the Midwest. Also, it is assembled and shipped from the plant here in Columbus, Nebraska. Made in the USA.

when less is more

The atomLink system already has the variable-angle al-knuckle, so why bother with a fixed-angle joint? The answer is space, weight, and range. Mounts and mirrors are often in tight locations, and as small and light as the al-knuckle is, it takes up more space than the 50° spacer, which meets the adjustment requirements of many applications. So, with that in mind, Saeng spent years refining and compressing this mastery of space. An interlocking top cap was added to facilitate this, allowing the fasteners to be moved inward. If the fasteners were any closer, they would overlap in space, but all the effort was worth it, as the locking channels and caps increased the part’s strength and reduced its weight. If needed, pairing two al-spacer50 bodies together, you end up with a 0-100 degree variable and fully lockable joint. Yes, indeed, less is more.

with the spacer

The spacer comes with a matching al-nibbed disc, a 5mm stainless steel screw, and a silicone friction O-ring available in red, yellow, blue, or black.
