Smith Seal - Part of Zatkoff Seals & Packings HOME ABOUT » SERVICES » PRODUCTS CONTACT SHIMS A shim can be cut, stamped, milled, or bored into specific shapes. These fabricated pieces can be placed between objects for a variety of uses, including added support, improved leveling, increased insulation, tighter sealing, and better spacing. Shims can also be used to fill in gaps between machine parts that are prone to wear, avoiding costly replacement parts and lost production time. While most shim stock is sold in standard thicknesses of solid material, shim stock with laminated layers is composed of stacked foil sheets that have been pressed and heated together and that peel off to adjust the shim’s thickness to the application. Many materials make suitable shim stock, or base material, depending on the context: plastic (Mylar or polyester), metals (including laminated shim stock and specialty metals), or even paper (vegetable fiber). Shims come in sets that contain various thicknesses to provide an adjustable range of thicknesses. Shims can be customized to fit any required dimensions and shapes. They are very similar to gaskets in material and production processes, however unlike gaskets shims are not primarily designed to seal. Because there are so many styles and designs for shims please give us a call and let us make sure you get the best shim for your application.
