Shim Stock
Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Sheets come flat packed.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number. Most shims include a test report.
Spring steel shim stock is comparable in strength to carbon steel shim stock, but is harder and holds its shape better. It isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.

Adhesive-Back Shim Stock
A durable acrylic adhesive keeps this shim stock from sliding out of place. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Shim stock is corrosion resistant. It includes a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
Aluminum and brass shim stock are softer than stainless steel, so they can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Aluminum shim stock is lighter than brass.

Electrical-Insulating Cup Sleeve Washers
These washers have a flat bottom and high walls to protect metal screw heads from electrical current and prevent galvanic corrosion from mating different types of metal.
Nylon washers may expand when exposed to moisture.

Split Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws
Also known as high-collar lock washers, these have a smaller outside diameter than standard split lock washers to fit neatly under socket head cap screws. As the screw is tightened, these washers flatten to add tension to the joint. This counteracts fatigue around the joint from small amounts of vibration, making these washers a common choice to prevent fasteners from loosening. However, compared to other locking washers, they resist the least amount of vibration.
These washers are compatible with fasteners that have right-hand threads to prevent clockwise rotation. The uneven split ends bite into fasteners for a tight grip, but they won’t work with hardened surfaces. These washers hold better than curved or wave washers. They are not reusable after tightening.
Black-oxide steel washers are mildly corrosion resistant in dry environments. Zinc-plated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.
Washers that meet ASME B18.21.1 adhere to strict dimensional standards. Steel washers also meet standards for material properties.

Shims for Keyway Broaches
When broaching in multiple passes, shims are necessary to ensure full keyway depth. Slide them between the broach and bushing to set the depth of the keyway.
Note: Broaches have a style designation of A, B, B1, C, D, or E. For proper fit, broaches, bushings, and shims used together must have the same letter designation.
