Description
A shim, also called a spacer, is a small cylindrical part used to create a gap or distance between two components. Shims are also used to provide positioning assistance between components. They are typically made of durable materials such as metal or plastic. They are available in various sizes and thicknesses.
Attributes
- Withstands heavy loads and provides support for components.
- Withstands high pressure without deforming or breaking.
- Reduces vibration, improving machine efficiency and reducing wear.
Applications
Shims are used to increase the distance between the parts they secure. Widely used in Cat 14M motor graders; 215 and 322B excavators; 3176C, 3196, C-12, C12, C175-20, C32, G3520H, G3612, and G3616 engines (piston); 623G wheel tractor-scrapers; 793F, 797, 797B, 797F, and 798 trucks; 955K, 955L, and 955L track loaders; 994 and R1700 wheel loaders; C175-20, CHP2500, G3512, G3512H, G3516H, G3520, G3520H, and XGC1900 generator sets; D11T track-type tractors; and R1700 underground mining.
