What is this piece of hardware called?

Can anyone tell me what this is called? It slips over the bolt in the picture and is secured by a set screw.

Looks like Malco calls them adjustment sleeves

Maybe Malco calls them an Adjustment sleeve because it's a replacement part of their HC1 hole cutter. It's not what the OP has... I'd like to see more context of how the OP's part is being used.

Is this used on a boat by chance?

Did you try clicking through similar looking stuff on McMaster?

Thanks all for the replies. I figured it out. It's a part of standoff for wall mounting a large sign. What I have in the picture is only half of the standoff which is what was confusing me.

Thanks again for the replies.

I would call a Stand-off for mounting a sign to a wall a “SPACER” in past years I have made them from either Pipe or Tube, depending on the size and weight of the mounted items. I have also seen spacers made from plastic or hardwood.

Difference between a standoff and a spacer is that the standoff is threaded on one or two ends. In my case one end.

Here is an example.

A Stand Off can also be a situation where two parties of opposing opinions avoid taking action because they fear the unacceptable response and assured reaction to any thing you might reasonably be expected to do.

I'm confused. Is this an attempt at humor or is it mocking me? I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was clarifying the difference between the two. Spacer would work if you were going through the sign with the mounting hardware, but in this case it's blind mounted. I have to mount a threaded stud to the wall and then thread the thing in my pic above to it. Then hang the sign on them and tighten the set screws.
I'll shut up now.

I can never tell if he is some garage Yoda or poorly programmed AI.

No mocking - he's good. The humor was weak but in all my time here he just isn't one to mock.
