The job of a Shim Washer

Our Shim Washers are manufactured to the DIN 988 specification and are available in a Carbon Steel, Plain Finish.
Shim Washers are used to fill up excess gaps. By filling in the space, a Shim Washer can reduce wear and protect both the objects. Our standard Shim Washers begin from 0.1mm thick up to 1mm thick, and from 1.5mm thick are classed as Support Washers. Choosing the thickness of a Shim is done by measuring the gap between the two objects. For example if the gap between your object is 0.5mm thick, you would generally need a 0.5mm thick Shim Washer.
