Wide-Rim Ring Shims
Also known as machinery bushings, these shims have an oversized OD to create a larger bearing surface for reduced wear between moving parts. Use them to precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on shafts and machinery.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded.
A zinc-plated finish adds a layer of corrosion resistance.

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.

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.
Aluminum shim stock is lightweight and nonmagnetic. It has good 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.
Ceramic washers withstand high temperatures and resist moisture as well as hydrochloric and nitric acid gases.
