Ring Shims
Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners, shafts, and machinery with these shims.
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.
Aluminum shims are lightweight and nonmagnetic. They have good corrosion resistance.
Brass and copper shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.

Peel-Away Layered Shim Stock
Cut this shim stock it into custom shapes to fit your application. Stock is made of layers of material bonded with adhesive; remove layers with a utility knife until you get the thickness you need. To make the layers easier to pull apart, gently heat the shim to soften the adhesive.
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.
18-8 stainless steel shim stock is more corrosion resistant than carbon steel shim stock.
Carbon steel shim stock has excellent strength and can be welded, but isn't as corrosion resistant as other shim stock.
Aluminum shim stock is lightweight and nonmagnetic. It has good corrosion resistance.

Spring Lock Washers for Slotted Bearing Nuts
Designed for use with bearing nuts, these lock washers have a conical shape that presses like a spring against bearings, bushings, gears, and pulleys to hold them in place on your threaded shaft or spindle. They also have an inner tab that sits in the shaft or spindle’s keyway to prevent the nut from loosening.
Steel washers are strong and flexible.
Stainless steel washers are more corrosion and chemical resistant than steel washers.

Belleville Spring Lock Washers for Socket Head Screws
These washers have smaller outside diameters than standard spring lock washers to fit neatly under socket head cap screws. Also known as conical washers, these have a slightly cupped shape that gives them spring-like flexibility to grip tighter than split and tooth lock washers. They minimize loosening from wear, temperature changes, and vibration. Serrations on the top and bottom provide extra gripping power. Load-rated Belleville disc springs are also available.
Zinc-plated steel washers are corrosion resistant in wet environments.

Tab Lock Washers
Bend one tab against the side of the mounting surface and the other tab against the flats on a bolt or nut to prevent both the fastener and washer from turning and loosening in high-vibration applications, such as a motor mount.
