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.
