Description:
The plastic shim is used to fill gaps or spaces between objects or surfaces. Plastic 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.
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
Applications:
This plastic shim is used on each side of the impeller to obtain an axial clearance in the water pump assembly. It is widely used in Cat 3406E, 3408B, 3408C, 3412, 3412, 3412C, 3412D, 3412E, C-15, C15, C18, C30, C32 and CG137-12 Engine (Piston), C18, C32 and G3516C Generator Set
