A spacer is a component used to create a defined distance between two parts, often to ensure proper alignment or clearance in an assembly. A shim, on the other hand, is a thin piece of material used to fill gaps or adjust the fit between components, often for fine-tuning or leveling purposes. While both are used to manage spacing, spacers typically maintain consistent separation, whereas shims are used for precise adjustments.
