Why use a shim washer?

Caleb Components stocks a wide range of Shim Washers to DIN 988 standard.
Carbon Steel, Plain Finish.

Shim Washers are made to precise dimensions and are used to take up excess space in assembles e.g. Bearing assemblies. As these parts come in a variety of thicknesses usually, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm and 1.0mm (thicknesses above 1.0mm are generally classed as Support Washers), they offer a wide variety of packing thickness.

We also supply Shim Washer Kits for both the smaller sizes and medium sizes.

Our Grip Rings & Crescent Rings

You can purchase online our M1440 & N1440 Grip rings and our M1800 & N1800 Crescent rings.
Both parts available in Carbon Steel.

Grip Rings – These parts enable high gripping pressure because of their large section height. These part also has the advantage of being reused as they are not usually stretched beyond it’s elastic limit, and also causing no damage to the shaft.

Cotter Pins & Retaining Pins

Here at Caleb Components we offer both Split Cotter Pins and Retaining Pins (R-Clips) in BZP finish.

A Split Cotter Pin is a simple fastening device. This part is simply pushed through a whole, which is just slightly bigger than outside diameter of the pin. As parts are manufactured in Mild Steel, the legs simply bend around the component to hold it in place.

Retaining Pins (R-Clips) serve a similar function to the Split Cotter Pin, the difference being the Retaining Pin is easy to remove as just one half of the pin locates on the outside diameter of the component.

Split Cotter Pins however, are a little more difficult to remove as the legs have to be bent back to their original position in order to extract the pin from its component.
