Adjust spacing between bearings and other components on shafts. These shims are sized to fit the outer rim of a bearing.
316 stainless steel shims have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shims.
18-8 stainless steel shims offer good corrosion resistance.
Brass shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.

Spin these shims onto screw threads to extend the shoulder length.
Spring steel shims are harder and hold their shape better than stainless steel shims.
