How are shims used?
Shims sit between two surfaces to improve the fit or alignment of the two surfaces. By filling the gap you can prevent unnecessary movement, which in turn limits damage to the equipment or machinery.
Shims are especially common in engineering environments and bearing assemblies due to their ability to absorb tolerances and friction between two components. In addition, it means the components themselves are protected and don’t need to be machined for a perfect fit. Furthermore, the shims can simply be replaced during regular scheduled maintenance
