distance betwenn axis and axis annotation

I don't think you can do this directly, but you can do it using mtext.

This is not correct. You can, as Dimitris has already shown. See ?par (sub
mgp). The difficulty arises if you want only one set of axes changed, which
is not what was requested.

## Example using your "example"
par(mfrow = c(1, 2))
x <- 1:10
y <- rnorm(10)

plot(x,y, axes=F)
box()
at <- pretty(x)
min <- par("usr")[1]
max <- par("usr")[2]
at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max]  # pretty extends the range
axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE)
mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3)

plot(x, y, mgp = c(3, 3, 0))

How can I specify the distance between the axis and axis annotation?

For example:

y <- rnorm(10)

plot(x,y, axes=F)
box()
at <- pretty(x)
min <- par("usr")[1]
max <- par("usr")[2]
at <- at[ at >= min & at <= max]  # pretty extends the range
axis(1, at=at, labels=FALSE)
mtext(at, side=1, at=at, line=3)
