Description:
The carbon steel shim is used to fill gaps or spaces between objects or surfaces. Carbon steel shims are versatile and commonly used where precise adjustments, alignments, or leveling are required. They are designed in different shapes, sizes, and materials to suit specific needs and are important in achieving accurate and precise results. They are used for a tight fit between machined parts, firmly securing mechanical components to prevent excessive wear on components and hardware. Carbon steel shims provide better protection since they are made with long wear-life properties.

Attributes:
• Compensator to adjust the tolerance between mating components
• Cost-effective solution compared to other alignment or gap adjustment methods
• To reduce excessive wear on parts and hardware
• High wear & abrasion resistance
• Designed to bear heavy loads and withstand high pressure
• Uniformly distributes the load over several places, lowering stress concentration and avoiding localized damage
• Hardness BR 4.6 minimum

Applications:
This carbon steel shim is used to adjust the lateral clearance between the stick cylinder and axle pin assembly. It is widely used in Cat 3.04E+04, 303, 303.5, 303.5C, 303.5D, 303.5E, 303C, 303E, 304, 304.5E, 304D, 304E, 307E, 308, 311B, 311C, 311D, 311F, 312, 312B, 312C, 312D, 312E, 312F, 313, 313B, 313C, 313D, 313F, 314C, 314D, 314E, 314F, 315, 315B, 315D, 315F, 316, 317B, 318B, 318C, 320, 320B, 320C, 320D, 320E, 320F, 321B, 321C, 321D, 321F, 322B, 322C, 323, 323D, 323E, 323F, 324D, 324E, 325, 325B, 325C, 325D, 325F, 326, 326D, 326F, 328D, 329D, 329E, 329F, 330, 330B, 330C, 330D, 330F, 333, 335, 336D, 336E, 340, 340F, 345B, 345C, 345D, 349E, 352, 365B, 365C, 385B, 385C, 5080, 528, 538, 568, M313C, M313D, M314, M314F, M315, M315C, M315D, M315F, M316C, M316D, M316F, M317D, M317F, M318, M318C, M318D, M318F, M320, M320D, M320F, M322, M322C, M322D, M322F, M323F, M324D, M325C, MH3022, MH3024, MH3026 and MH3032 Excavators, 312 Engines (Piston), 312, 312C, 312D, 312E, 314D, 314E, 315, 320, 320C, 320D, 320E, 323D, 325, 330, M316D and M322D 320D, M318D, M320F, M322D, M325D, M333F, MH3022, MH3024, MH3026, MH3040, MH3275 and MH3295 Material Handlers, 416C, 426C, 428C, 436C and 438C Backhoes, D5N, D5R and D6N Track Type Tractors, HH45, HH55 and HH65 Harvester Heads (Tree), TH3510D, TH357D and TH408D Telehandler HRCS, TH3510D, TH357D, and TH408D Telehandler LRCS.
