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.

Color-Coded Slotted Shim Sets
Keep slotted shims in a variety of thicknesses on hand with these sets, which are color-coded by thickness for easy identification. The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery. Shims are corrosion resistant.
Stainless steel shims come in a durable, high-visibility orange canvas bag. The heavy duty shoulder strap and ring keep the bag open when hung.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings
These 932 bearing bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads. They’re sometimes called 660 leaded bronze bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
