SHIM WASHER

A SHIM WASHER is a thin washer used to fill gaps between components, adjust assembly height, and control axial positioning. It may also be referred to as an adjustment washer, spacing washer, or shim. It can be used individually or stacked in different thicknesses for fine adjustment.

Precise Adjustment of Assembly Clearance

SHIM WASHERS of different thicknesses can be used to fill gaps between components and adjust axial position, assembly height, and mating clearance.

Supports Fine Dimensional Compensation

Multiple thicknesses can be used individually or stacked to compensate for machining tolerances, wear, and assembly variations.

Helps Reduce Component Movement

By properly filling gaps, SHIM WASHERS can help reduce axial movement, looseness, and abnormal noise in shafts, gears, bearings, and mechanical components.

Simplifies Maintenance and Adjustment

Spacing can be corrected by adding or removing SHIM WASHERS without re-machining the original components, making equipment assembly, alignment, adjustment, and maintenance more convenient.

Suitable for Precision Mechanisms

SHIM WASHERS are commonly used in bearings, gears, motors, molds, automation equipment, automotive and motorcycle components, and precision instruments.
