Shims are part of the spacing and support solutions provided by Superior Washer. Commonly used to wedge gaps, increase tension or adjust support within an application, shims are often used as a tool rather than a component, however uses are limitless. Shims are therefore produced with a wide range of materials.
Although shims are often selected as an afterthought and used as a matter of convenience in a range of manufacturing, maintenance and modification process, using uniformly produced, quality material shims can significantly ensure the consistency and precision of the task or application at hand.
Automotive, aerospace, masonry, plumbing, carpentry, construction, electronic and many other industries use shims for countless applications and purposes. Based upon the requirements and particulars of the application, specific materials are needed to provide a tight and reliable fit between gaps and clearances, provide reliable support and leveling, and ensure a flexible but precision alignment or adjustment.
High temperature and friction endurance, vibration dampening and elimination, ware and corrosion resistance and overall toughness of material used to create the many shims we offer can make all the difference in the safety, quality and reliability of the process.
