UP-200 Stainless Steel Spacer KS-088

The KS-088 spacer is an OEM-grade stainless steel shim/spacer designed for high-speed nail-drill handpieces in the KUPA UP-200 & UG12 families. This thin ring ensures precise internal spacing between bearings, shafts or front-housing components—key to maintaining smooth rotation and minimizing vibration in high-RPM use.

Features

• Maintains exact spacing in the internal high-speed assembly, helping to preserve alignment and reduce vibration.

• Prevents unwanted movement or play between internal components (bearings, shafts, housings) which can lead to performance drop.

• Cost-effective maintenance part: easy to replace, helps restore smooth operation without major overhaul.

• Using the correct OEM-specified spacer ensures proper tolerances and fit—important in a professional salon tool.

• Material: Stainless steel, rated for “high-speed” applications. 

• Dimensions (from listing):

  • Inside Diameter (ID): ~ 6 mm 

  • Outside Diameter (OD): ~ 8 10 mm (likely ~8.10 mm) 

  • Thickness: ~ 0.2 mm

Installation Tips

• Confirm your handpiece model and revision uses KS-088.

• Measure existing spacer (if accessible) to ensure matching dimensions ID/OD/thickness.

• Inspect the seating surfaces (shaft, housing, bearing mounts) for wear—if the housing or shaft is damaged, installing a new spacer alone might not resolve issues.

1. Make sure the handpiece is powered off and fully stopped.

2. Disassemble the front or relevant section to access the spacer location.

3. Remove the old spacer, clean surrounding surfaces of debris/metal shavings.

4. Place the new KS-088 spacer flat and properly seated between the components.

5. Re-assemble the handpiece and test under no-load (no bit) to check for smooth rotation and minimal vibration before full use.
