What are Shims?

Shims are thin, precisely made flat or tapered pieces placed between two parts to adjust spacing, achieve accurate alignment, and ensure a proper fit. They can be manufactured from metal, plastic, or other materials and are commonly used to correct level variations, eliminate gaps, and support components during installation or operation. From construction applications such as aligning doors and frames to high-precision environments like automotive assemblies and aerospace equipment, shims play a critical role in accuracy and stability. By maintaining correct clearances and alignment, they help reduce vibration, prevent uneven loading and premature wear, and protect equipment from potential damage or failure ultimately improving performance and extending service life.

FAQs – Shims

Shims are used to fill gaps, provide alignment, adjust tolerances, and distribute load in assemblies to reduce wear and improve performance.
Shims are made from a variety of materials depending on the application. Common materials include metal (steel, stainless steel, brass, aluminum), plastic (nylon, PTFE), and wood. Metal shims are preferred for high-strength and precision applications, while plastic and wood shims are used where corrosion resistance or cushioning is needed.
Shim thickness can vary widely based on the requirement. Typically, shims range from 0.05 mm (0.002 inches) to 10 mm (0.4 inches) or more. They are available in standard increments for easy adjustments in alignment, leveling, or spacing.
Shim size refers to the length, width, and thickness of the shim. Sizes are selected based on the gap or space that needs to be filled and the precision required. Standard shims come in various lengths and widths, but custom sizes can also be made to fit specific machinery, construction, or industrial applications.
