The Shim is positioned between the bearing and the collar of the front idler to adjust the clearance between the bearing and the collar, thereby controlling the axial movement and alignment of the idler. By doing so, it helps to minimize any potential issues related to misalignment, excessive wear, and inefficient power transmission within the undercarriage. It is made of steel to withstand stresses, ensuring it can effectively support the forces applied during the operation.

Attributes:
• Supports heavy loads without compromising their structural integrity
• Provides resistance to shearing forces, providing stable support

Applications:
The Shim is used to compensate for any irregularities in the attachment of the bearing and the front idler collar, thereby facilitating precise alignment and ensuring that the components are positioned relative to each other.
