What is the purpose of a shim?
Shims fit into mechanical devices to fill gaps. Inside machinery, many parts cluster together, but gaps can cause the parts to move around and potentially damage the device. Therefore, by fitting a shim into the space of a gap, you will create a tighter fitting alignment between the parts. This will reduce any unnecessary movement – decreasing the risk of wear and tear.
