Quality and Manufacturing

Stainless Steel

All shims are manufactured from stainless steel. This grade offers excellent corrosion resistance and maintains its properties across a wide temperature range, making it suitable for most industrial environments.

Factory Precision

Unlike hand-cut shims, our factory-made shims are perfectly flat and burr-free with rounded corners. Each piece is manufactured to consistent tolerances, ensuring reliable thickness across the entire surface.

Permanent Markings

Every shim carries permanent thickness identification that remains legible throughout its service life. This eliminates confusion when working with multiple thicknesses and ensures traceability for quality control purposes.

Extraction Tabs

All shims feature extraction and insertion tabs for easy positioning and removal. This design allows adjustment without fully loosening anchor bolts, reducing the time required for alignment procedures.

Cost Effectiveness

Our pre-cut stainless steel shims are approximately four times more cost effective than homemade slotted shims.

When you factor in the labour time required to measure, mark out, and cut shims from sheet material, plus the cost of cutting tools and the risk of inaccuracy, factory-made shims represent significant savings. The consistent quality also reduces the likelihood of repeat work due to incorrect shimming.
