    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Sold Individually, Round.
    With thickness tolerances as fine as a strand of hair, these shims precisely align, space, and level components on shafts, arbors, 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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these shims resist rust. However, they’ll corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these shims won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Brass—With a warm, polished look, these shims are often chosen for their appearance. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, brass is corrosion resistant enough to stand up to wet environments.
    Material Certificate—Shims include a report with a traceable lot number.

    Adhesive-Back Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Adhesive-Back Shim Stock.
    Stick with confidence—a durable adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut the 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.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor areas because it resists rust. However, it will corrode or pit when exposed to salt water and chemicals.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, it won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Brass—Picked for its warm, polished look. Similar to 18-8 stainless steel, it resists rusting in wet and outdoor areas.
    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.

    Heavy-Vibration-Resistant Spring Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Conical Washer, For Socket Head Screws, Spring Lock Washer.
    Stop socket head screws from wiggling loose on equipment with constant, vigorous vibration, such as engines, turbines, and generators. These washers have a small diameter to fit under screws with narrow heads. Similar to a spring, they flatten under pressure to add tension between mating surfaces. As long as the washers aren't deformed or otherwise damaged, you can reuse them indefinitely without losing locking strength. Also known as conical washers and Belleville washers.
    Stack multiple washers in the same direction to double or triple how much weight they can bear. Stack washers in opposite directions for better deflection, which means they compress further and withstand more shock and movement without loosening.
    18-8 Stainless Steel—The choice for wet and outdoor environments, these washers won't rust when exposed to moisture. However, they can't hold up to the harsh chemicals that 316 stainless steel can.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust.
    Top-and-Bottom Serration—Adds friction for extra gripping power.
