What are Ring Shims and do you need one?
Before investing in components to add to your project, assess if a shim is the right part you need. Shim washers are used to fill the empty space between two different parts in a device. Often, when there is empty space, components can find room to move around and rub against each other. As a result, this leads to friction damage and unwanted wear and tear on the mechanism.
Consequently, early damage can cause the lifespan of the subject can decrease dramatically. Consequently causing it to become unsafe for use. Filling the empty space with a shim creates a tighter alignment for the parts inside the device. Therefore preventing any unwanted movement from the components. Furthermore, here at Stephens Gaskets, our products are all available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, thicknesses and materials. This ensures that we can cater to as many different customer requirements as we can. We specialise in producing many different variations of shim washers including ring shims.
