How to choose a good BLM series wheel spacer?

Featured Replies

 First of all, the most important point is to choose a wheel spacer with the brand's exclusive LOGO, and buy genuine products through normal channels.

If they print their own brand LOGO on the wheel spacers body, bolts, and nuts, it means that the brand is very responsible and rigorous and confident in its products. There are many unbranded wheel spacers on the market. The words printed on their products are metric specifications or other non-brand name signs. In this way, buyers who have purchased three products will encounter potential risks, and the probability of sellers evading responsibility will be very high.

So what is the reference data of the purchased wheel spacers?Analyze the wheel spacers, bolts, and nuts.

The manufacturing process of wheel spacers on the market is mainly based on forging and casting. Casting is hard-worked and slowly formed, while casting is where molten liquid metal is introduced into the mold for cooling and forming at one time. Forging takes more time and cost than casting.

The materials of wheel spacers on the market are generally aluminum alloy and alloy steel. The density of alloy steel is 7.8, and the density of aluminum alloy is 2.8, which means that if these two materials are used to make wheel spacers of the same size and thickness, the weight of aluminum alloy will be 35% lighter than alloy steel. Aluminum alloy will be better for reducing the unsprung mass of the vehicle, and the vehicle acceleration and handling performance will be better.

  Using different types of aluminum alloy materials, the tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation are also different

  Taking 6061 as an example, the tensile strength of 6061-T6 that has undergone heat treatment (T) is about 2.5 times that of 6061, and the yield strength is even closer to 5 times. It is sufficient to use 6061-T6 or 7075-T6.

  There are not many products in the market that can issue authoritative qualification inspection reports such as SGS, TUV, ISO, etc. Therefore, when purchasing, a standard is also formed, whether the products dare to be tested or not.

  Thank you for your reading.If you have any other comments, please leave a message, I will study hard.
