When it comes to purchasing both bespoke and non-bespoke steel shims, there are many different factors to consider including size, thickness and material. Each of these factors depend on the purpose of your shim. It is important to stick to the right ones in the right order. Then you get exactly what you need from the component when put to use.
Shims At Stephens Gaskets
Shims are small thin strips of material which are used to fill a space between two parts of a component. This will create a tighter alignment. However with a loose fitting between components within a device or piece of equipment, the two pieces often rub together. This can then lead to wear and tear on the interior. Early wear and tear can decrease the lifespan of the equipment. Fitting a shim into the space will stop the two parts moving and rubbing. This helps to maintain an untarnished interior. Laser cutting is a great way to create bespoke shims to the perfect specifications.
