Shim Washers DIN 988

Product Description

Shim rings are flat washers used in combination when axial clearance must be offset. This could be on a shaft where there is a locking ring/bearing, between which clearance must be offset. By combining washers of different thicknesses you can precisely offset the clearance.

Shims refer to a broad class of specialty flat washers that are used for positioning and spacing. While shims look like flat washers they are different in that shims are typically made  using more precise materials and production techniques.

Axial play resulting from manufacturing tolerances can be rigidly reduced by using various thicknesses of shim washers.

Applications:

• Compensation for axial play
• Mechanical engineering
• Automotive engineering
• Gear systems
• Standard : DIN 988
• Material : Stainless Steel AISI 304
• Range : 0.1mm to 1mm
