Adjustment Shims
Adjustment Shims
Ground or unground "thickness" adjustment shims are used in mechanical assemblies and are used to compensate for the deviations added by all accumulated tolerances.
Our precision shims are custom-made, according to our customers' plans or specifications, in order to meet their needs and requirements.
They are used in various industrial sectors such as aeronautics, aerospace, defense, armaments, automotive, agri-food, optics and in many national and international industries.
Die-cut and machined shims are available in a very wide range of sizes, thicknesses, shapes, materials and hardnesses
