In addition to this, shims are excellent for making repairs and replacements much quicker, easier and more cost effective.
Copper Shims Advantages
Another advantage of shims is that other parts do not require perfect manufacturing. This means that the meeting of two parts need not be watertight or perfect, as the gaps can be made up by shims. As a result, the cost of manufacture is lower as the tolerances for gaps can then be much higher.
Absorbs Impact
A soft metal commonly used in the manufacturing of shims and foil, is copper. Copper shims act in the way described above. They allow parts of a machine to move or rub, with the shim absorbing the impact and abrasion. This, therefore, lowers the chances of the parts of the machine itself having to be repaired or replaced.
As a result, by simply replacing the relatively inexpensive copper shims every once in a while, major repairs and renovations are avoided. This minimises both the downtime and cost.
Highly Conductive
Aside from being a relatively soft and ductile metal, copper is also highly conductive – in both senses of electrical and heat transfer. As a result, copper is great for cabling and the transfer of water. In the latter usage, copper does not react with water, therefore making it ideal for many types of pipes. It does, however, react with air and develops a layer of copper oxide when left exposed.
