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 305.5, 305.5E, 306, 306.5, 306E, 307, 307B, 307C, 307D, 307E, 308, 308B, 308C, 308D, 308E, 311, 311B, 311C, 311D, 311F, 312, 312B, 312C, 312D, 312E, 312F, 313, 313B, 313C, 313D, 313F, 314C, 314D, 314E, 314F, 315, 315B, 315C, 315D, 315F, 316, 317, 317B, 318B, 320, 320B, 320C, 322, 322B, 322C, 323, 323D, 324E, 325, 325B, 325C, 325D, 326, 326D, 326F, 329E, 329F, 330, 330B, 330C, 330F, 333, 345B, 349E, 350, 375, 5080, M312, M313C, M313D, M314, M314F, M315, M315C, M315D, M315F, M316C, M316D, M316F, M317D, M317F, M318, M318C, M318D, M318F, M320, M320D, M320F, M322C, M322D, M323F, M324D, MH3022, MH3024, MH3032 and MH3050 Excavators, 312 Engine (Piston), M318D, M320F, M322D, MH3022, MH3024, MH3026, MH3040, MH3250, and MH3260 Material Handler
