I don't know what you mean by Spacer. It can mean several things

It is not a type of a coupling, but will be a part of the coupling.

In several drives, we have to maintain a distance between the drive and driven due to various reasons. In those cases, we have speciall type of couplings (in fact double couplings) with a shaft in between. Ie

Drive end - coupling/ coupling- shaft - coupling/coupling - driven

The middele shaft - you can call spacer.

In certain type of couplings you have to maintain some gap in the face - there alos you may have spacers.

Where have you come across this term ? check the manual and the sketch accompanying and you may find the spacer there (along with the coupling)
