    Shims

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shims. Round, Sold Individually.
    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.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these shims to rust.
    Wear-Resistant Alloy Steel—Our strongest, most wear-resistant shims. They perform best in dry environments since moisture will cause them to rust.
    Material Certificate—Shims include a report with a traceable lot number.

    Shim Stock

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Sold Individually.
    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.
    Ultra-Chemical-Resistant PTFE—The most chemical-resistant shim stock we offer, it stands up to the widest range of harsh acids, bases, solvents, and corrosive cleaners, even at temperatures up to 500° F. It also won't mar delicate surfaces.

    Peel-Away Multilayer Shim Stock

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Shim Stock. Peel Away, Sold Individually, Multilayer.
    Fine-tune thickness without worrying about stacking multiple shims. Cut the shim stock into custom shapes that suit your needs. It's made of layers of material bonded with adhesive—peel off the layers with a utility knife until you reach your desired thickness. To make peeling easier, warm the created shims to soften the adhesive. 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.
    Carbon Steel—Best for dry areas since moisture will cause it to rust.

    Split Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Lock Washers. Split-Lock Washer, For Socket Head Screws.
    Stop socket head screws from loosening due to mild vibration. These washers have a small diameter to fit under screws with narrow heads, but are still thick enough to keep fasteners secure. While they're not as vibration resistant as other lock washers, they are a great fit for electrical panels, light fixtures, and other light duty assemblies. Split lock washers are not reusable, and they only work with fasteners that have right-hand threads. Also known as high-collar lock washers.
    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.
    Black-Oxide 18-8 Stainless Steel—Typically chosen for their appearance, these washers have a dark, matte coating to create a finished look. They won't rust in wet and outdoor environments, but can't hold up to harsh chemicals as well as 316 stainless steel.
    Highly Corrosion-Resistant 316 Stainless Steel—Superior to 18-8 stainless steel, these washers won't degrade when exposed to harsh weather, salt water, and most chemicals.
    Zinc-Plated Steel—A common choice for areas with occasional exposure to moisture.
    Black-Oxide Steel—Best for dry environments since moisture will cause these washers to rust. They have a dark, matte appearance.

    Insulating Sleeve Washers

    Cover screw threads to stop electrical current in its tracks and prevent short circuits. These washers create a barrier between the screw threads and the mating surface when mounted in through holes. This barrier also extends the life of your assembly by preventing galvanic corrosion, which is when two different metals rust more quickly due to contact with each other.
    Flat Edge

    The flat edge distributes weight evenly to take pressure off screw heads.
    Nylon—Our most versatile insulating washers, these block unwanted current in everything from switches and circuit breakers to control panels and electric motors.
