What is the purpose of a shim?
Shims are small circular parts that are specifically designed to fit into a mechanical device to fill a gap. The interior of a piece of machinery is often clustered with many different parts however sometimes if there is gap, it can cause the parts to move around and potentially damage the device. By fitting a shim into the space of a gap, you will create a tighter fitting alignment between the parts and reduce any unnecessary movement – decreasing the risk of wear and tear.
