Tight-Tolerance 932 Bearing Bronze Bars
- Yield Strength: 20,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B25 (Soft)
- Temper: M07
- Heat Treatable: No
- Specifications Met: ASTM B505
Precision ground on the top and bottom, these bars have a tight thickness tolerance of ±0.002". Offering excellent antifriction qualities, 932 bronze also offers good strength and wear resistance. It's also known as SAE 660 and is often used for bearings, bushings, and thrust washers.

Oversized Weldable 954 Bearing Bronze Bars
- Yield Strength: 29,000 psi
- Hardness: Rockwell B85 (Medium)
- Temper: M07
- Heat Treatable: Yes
- Specifications Met: ASTM B505
Thickness and width are oversized to allow for finishing. 954 bronze contains a minimum of 10% aluminum for strength and weldability. It is also known as aluminum bronze. It's widely used for bearings, bushings, valve bodies, and worm gears.

Color-Coded Slotted Shim Sets
Keep slotted shims in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets, which are color-coded by thickness for easy identification. The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery. Shims are corrosion resistant.
Painted aluminum shims are stronger than plastic shims.
Plastic shims work well in light duty applications.
