Spacers, Strips & Oil Duct Components

Transformer Insulation Spacer Blocks

Also known as: Winding Spacers, Spacer Blocks

Transformer insulation spacer blocks form controlled radial oil ducts, provide insulation between winding sections and transmit axial clamping forces. Material, geometry and tolerance must be confirmed against the winding drawing and mechanical requirements.

Dimensions, materials, tolerances and testing requirements are confirmed according to customer drawings and order specifications.

Key functions and options

  • Good compressive strength
  • Low compressibility with suitable elasticity
  • Supports radial oil-duct formation
  • Machined to drawing

Typical applications

  • Transformer winding oil ducts
  • Inter-section insulation
  • Axial clamping-force transfer
Quotation preparation

Information to include with your RFQ

  • Material
  • Drawing and tolerances
  • Dimensions
  • Quantity

For custom parts, a dimensioned drawing is the most reliable starting point. Drawings can be emailed to sales@boreviax.com.

Spacer blocks for transformer winding support and cooling-oil paths

Spacer blocks are functional winding components rather than generic cut pieces. Their dimensions, surface condition, material and arrangement influence oil-duct geometry, winding support and the transfer of mechanical forces.

Common design variables

  • Rectangular, T-shaped, dovetail, stepped or wedge geometry
  • Material grade and moisture-control requirement
  • Length, width, thickness and critical tolerances
  • Grooves, holes, chamfers and orientation
  • Individual pieces or chain-type assemblies

RFQ and quality confirmation

  • Latest dimensioned drawing and revision
  • Application position within the winding
  • Quantity and annual demand
  • Inspection method and records required
  • Packing method and destination

Transformer spacer block FAQs

Can spacer blocks be supplied in custom shapes?

Yes. Custom geometries are reviewed from the drawing, including material, machining details, tolerances and assembly requirements.

What is the best starting point for quotation?

A controlled drawing with revision number is the most reliable basis. Include the material requirement, critical dimensions, quantity and inspection criteria.
