Description:
A shim is a thin strip and often tapered or wedged piece of material. Shims are designed to provide a tight fit between machined parts by securely holding mechanical parts in place to reduce excessive wear on adjacent parts and hardware. Shims are often used with a number of similar shims or strips.

Attributes:
● Corrosion-resistant, highly formable, and non-magnetic
● Provides superior protection, being manufactured from high-quality materials with properties that provide a long wear life, and the high performance the demand. 

Applications:
A Shim is typically used in order to support, adjust for better fit, or provide a level surface and to fill small gaps or spaces between parts subject to wear. They are widely used on Cat 1090, 1190, 1190T, 1290T, 1390, 1490, 1490T, 2290, 2390, 2391, 2491, 2590, 511, 511B, 521, 521B, 522, 522B, 532, 541, 551, 552, TK1051, TK711, TK711C, TK721, TK721C, TK722, TK722C, TK732, TK732C, TK741, TK741C, TK751, TK751C, TK752 and TK752C Tree Harvester, 307, 307B, 307C, 308, 308B, 308C, 308D, 308E, 320C, 320D, 322, 322B, 322C, 324D, 324E, 325, 325B, 325C, 325D, 326, 326D, 326F, 330, 330B, 330C, 330D, 335, 336D, 336E, 340, 340F, 345, 345B, 345C, 345D, 349, 349D, 349E, 349F, 350, 352, 352F, 355, 365B, 365C, 365D, 374D, 374F, 385C, 528, 558, 568, M313C, M313D, M314F, M315C, M315D, M315F, M316, M316C, M316D, M316F, M317, M317D, M317F, M318, M318C, M318D, M318F, M319, M320, M320D, M320F, M322D, M323F, M325B, M325C, MH3022, MH3024, MH3032, W330B and W345B Excavators, 325C, 325D, 330C, 330D, 365C, 385C, M318D, M320F, M325D, M330D, MH3022, MH3024, MH3040, MH3250 and MH3295 Material Handler, 986, 986H, 986K and 988 Wheel Loader, CL210B Underground Mining, M325C Turbine Engine, PM3, PM310, PM312 and PM313 Paving Equipment
