Extra-High-Strength Ultra-Formable 510 Bronze Rods

The best bronze alloy for parts that won't wear out from repeated motion, such as springs, bellows, and switches. The addition of phosphor makes 510 very strong, while copper keeps it formable. Also known as phosphor bronze.

Shim Stock

Cut into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

You can stack multiple shims to achieve your exact thickness, but stacking more than four may cause them to shift. Remember, fewer shims are better, so a couple of thicker shims are more stable than a bunch of thin shims.

Bronze—The choice for marine environments, it won't rust or deteriorate from exposure to salt water. It offers better corrosion resistance than 316 stainless steel but isn't as strong.

Temper Rating—Choose half hard to create shims that you’ll need to bend or shape. Opt for full hard to make stronger shims that will maintain their shape under loads.

Bronze Wire

Formed into cotter pins and springs, bronze wire withstands repeated motion better than copper and brass wire. It's 510 bronze, so it contains phosphor for high strength and copper for formability. Also known as phosphor bronze.

Shim Stock Assortments

When you don’t know the exact shim thickness you’ll need, keep shim stock in multiple thicknesses on hand so you always have the right one. Cut this shim stock into custom shapes to create shims that suit your needs. With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, the shims will precisely align, space, and level components on dies, presses, and machinery.

Nonsparking Wire Rope


6 × 7 Fiber Core	7 × 7 Strand Core

Made of phosphor bronze to inhibit sparks that can ignite flammable dusts, liquids, or vapors. Use this wire rope everywhere from chemical plants to oil refineries to avoid a fire or explosion.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.

Wire Rope Construction—Strand cores are more crush and impact-resistant than fiber cores, but fiber core ropes bend more easily and absorb shock.

Preformed—With each wire shaped into a spiral before being twisted onto the rope, they maintain their shape when cut. This keeps them from unraveling or poking equipment and users.

Extra-Flexible Nonsparking Wire Rope

A flexible option you can safely use around hazardous materials. Made of phosphor bronze, this wire rope inhibits sparks that could ignite flammable dusts, liquids, or vapors. With more than twice as many individual wires as standard options, it's easier to bend and wind onto winches and drums without wear.

Warning: Not for overhead lifting.
