Description
A shim is a type of fastener used to create space between two objects and also to provide positioning assistance between components. The size and shape of steel shims may vary depending on their intended use, but they are usually manufactured to very tight tolerances to ensure precise spacing between components.
Attributes
Smooth, unthreaded surface so it can be easily positioned and adjusted without risk of damaging surrounding components.
Resistant to high temperatures without deforming or decomposing, suitable for high-temperature environments.
Applications
The shim is used to increase the distance between the parts it secures. It is mainly used on Cat® 307E, 349E, M313D, M314F, M315D, M315F, M316D, M316F, M317D, M317F, M318C, M318D, M318F, M320D, M320F, M322C, M322D, M322F, M323F, M324D, MH3022 and MH3024 excavators, 906, 906H, 907H, 908 and 908H wheel loaders, 908H, M315D, M316D and M322D OEM applications, 973 and 973K track-type loaders, C18 power systems, C32 engines (piston), C32 generator sets, D6, D6T and D7 track-type tractors, M318D, M320F, M322D, M325D, M330D, M333F, MH3022, MH3024 and MH3026 material handlers, PL72 pipelayers.
