Description
A shim is a fastener used to create space between two components. They are also used to provide positioning assistance between components. The size and shape of shims may vary depending on their intended use, but they are usually manufactured to very tight tolerances to ensure precise spacing between components.
Attributes
Withstands frequent use and mechanical stress without breaking or deforming.
Reduces vibration, improving machine efficiency and reducing wear.
Applications
The shim is used to increase the distance between the parts it secures. This type of shim is mainly used on Cat® 313D, 317, 318, 326, 330, 330D, 333, 335, 336, 336D, 336E, 336F, 340, 340D, 345, 345C, 345D, 349D, 349E, 349F, 352F, 548, 558, 568, M320, MH3022, MH3024, MH3032 and MH3050 excavators, 323D, 330, 330D, 336D, 340D, 345, 345C and 345D OEM applications, 330D, 345C, M330D, MH3040, MH3250, TH220B and W345C material handlers, 3508C, 3512B, 3512C, 3512E, 3516C and 3516E engines (piston), 966, 966L, 966M, 972, 972L, 972M, 980M, 992 and R1700 wheel loaders, MD6640 drills, R1700 underground mining.
