I've never seen a standard hardware item like this, but perhaps you
could use a "coupling nut" and a piece of allthread?

Do not know if you can get them off the shelf but a reasonable
fitter/machinist could make them to order.
I have had a couple of sets made to fit wrong length (Cheaper) gas
struts to hatchback doors.

Btw..this is the sort of stuff turret or capstan lathes are a joy to
own for.

Go to www.mcmaster.com and search for 'standoff'.

There is a possibility that threaded inserts may do what you are looking to
do. You can find them at woodworking stores. Larry

As one poster mentioned, there are standoffs you can get but you didn't say
what size you wanted. For something from 1/4" on up to around 3/4" you may
want to consider making some up from some threaded rod and couplers. These
can be found at the borgs or most hardware stores. For your application,
cut a section of the threaded rod (same size and tpi as the coupler) and
screw it about half way in. You may want to peen the end of the coupler or
add some Locktite on the threaded rod section to make it more or less
permanent. For the other end, use the bolt that also has the same size and
tpi (i.e. 1/4"x20).

Thanks to all who responded.
I need 1.5cm length at narrow end,
and at the broader end length needs to be upto 4cm long.
I need to bridge the gap of 4.5cm between bolt and nut where alignment
has to be absolutely perfect.
Not being able to locate responses I have posted a mail today which
may please be ignored.

These I need to create extra space in racks where servers are stacked.
Servers being new one can hear the fans but vibrations are not felt at
all.

Keep in mind though that a fastner that has a sharp transition from one size
to
another creates a stress area at that point. If the application is not very
light
duty, you have a huge chance of it snapping where the transition takes
place.

In electronics, we use something called a
stacking standoff that might work. A stacking
standoff is either round or hex stock with
one end turned down and threaded and the
other end drilled and tapped.
Threads of 4-40, 6-32 and I believe 8-32
are common with of-the-shelf lengths up
to about an inch in 1/16's increments.

As others have said, that's a standoff.
Log to: http://www.digikey.com
Type 'Standoff' into the search window and click 'go'.
Select 'Spacers/Standoffs(1559 items)' from the resulting dialog.
In the resulting dialog, from the fourth column to the right, select 'Hex Threaded Male/Female'
On the middle left of that dialog, click 'Apply Filters'
Resolve the material and size available from the resulting dialogs.
Enjoy (TM: DoN)

You can buy internally threaded rod connectors and use a piece of all
thread. Then just tack weld them to make one piece.
