Product description

The Bar Spacer for the Valve Plate is a precision-engineered shim used in the foot pedal valve assembly of Coats tire changers. Its primary role is to maintain the exact clearance and alignment between the valve body and the actuating plate, ensuring that pneumatic signals are sent correctly when a pedal is pressed. Even a slight deviation in spacing can cause air leaks, delayed machine response, or a complete failure of the turntable or clamping functions. Over time, these spacers can become corroded or crushed due to over-tightened hardware, leading to inconsistent machine performance. Replacing worn spacers during a valve rebuild restores the factory-spec feel and airtight integrity of the control system. This component is essential for technicians who demand precision from their tire service equipment.
