When the Catalogue Size Doesn't Exist
Standoffs and pillars set the spacing between boards, panels and plates. Off-the-shelf ranges only come in fixed threads and lengths — so the moment you need an odd length, a non-standard thread, or a specific material, you're stuck. That's exactly when a machined standoff makes sense: we turn it to the precise length and thread your assembly needs, with clean full threads on both ends and consistent length across the batch.
Custom Standoff Specifications
| Attribute | Capability |
|---|---|
| Materials | Aluminium, brass, stainless, steel, Delrin/nylon/PTFE |
| Configurations | Male-female, female-female, male-male / stud |
| Threads | Metric (M2+) & imperial (UNC/UNF); custom pitches |
| Profile | Hex (wrench grip) or round |
| Length | Any, held tight and consistent across batch |
| Finish | As-machined, anodize, plate, passivate |
Standoff Types We Machine
- Female-female — threaded bore both ends, screw in from each side
- Male-female — a stud one end, threaded bore the other
- Hex standoffs — wrench grip for torque
- Round & shouldered pillars — tight or decorative spaces
- Insulating plastic standoffs — electrical isolation
Material Choice
Aluminium is light and anodizable; brass is the classic conductive choice for electronics; stainless resists corrosion; steel carries load. For electrical isolation we machine Delrin, nylon or PTFE. Threads are cut clean and gauged so they run smoothly both ends — see CNC turning.
Need an exact length or odd thread? Tell us the thread both ends, the length, and the material — or send a sample. We machine matching standoffs, one or a batch. No drawing required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — that's the point of custom. Any metric (M2+) or imperial thread, any length, in male-female, female-female or stud configurations.
Aluminium, brass, stainless and steel; plus Delrin, nylon or PTFE for electrical isolation.
Yes — consistent length matters for board/panel spacing, so we hold it tight across the whole batch with clean full threads both ends.
Both — hex for wrench grip, round for tight or decorative spaces, plus shouldered/stepped pillars.
