What Are Round Shim Washers?
Round shim washers are circular components that are designed to act as a buffer between two different surfaces. The shim washer absorbs the damage and impact that can take place between two loose-fitting components. In turn, filling up the gap in order to create a tighter fitting alignment. By fitting a shim washer into this gap, you can prevent friction damage and unnecessary wear and tear on the device. Therefore, prolonging the lifespan of the equipment – potentially even enhancing its performance too.
Types Of Shims
Shims can be used in an all-manner of devices and machinery, which means that they have to be available in different sizes, materials, and thicknesses. Here at Stephens Gaskets, our state-of-the-art shim manufacturing facilities mean that the possibilities are endless when it comes to making shims. Our shims are available in a huge variety of materials including brass, copper, plastic, stainless steel, aluminium, and cork. When it comes to shim measurements, we will work closely with you to ensure that we provide shims that are exactly the right fit for the alignment you require. Our pre-cut shims already cover a wide scope of sizes and thicknesses. However, if you require something that is more niche than a generic size, then we can accommodate that too.
