Slotted Shims
The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery, while the tab keeps fingers and tools away from machine feet. Use an insertion tool (sold separately) for better leverage and reach. Shims are etched with the thickness.
18-8 stainless steel shims have a balance of strength and corrosion resistance.

Electrical-Insulating Sleeve Washers
Also known as shoulder or insulator washers, these nonmetal washers block electrical current and prevent galvanic corrosion from mating different types of metal.
Nylon 6/6 washers have good abrasion resistance. Exposure to moisture may cause them to expand.

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.
