FAQ

What materials are used in these shim stock sheets?

The shim stock is made from full hard, cold-rolled low carbon 1008-1010 steel, providing excellent hardness, flatness, and dimensional stability for precise industrial applications.

Can these shims be cut to custom shapes?

Yes, the material can be easily punched or sheared with minimal burring and distortion, allowing for custom shaping to meet specific application requirements without compromising material integrity.

What thicknesses are included in the assortment?

The assortment includes 12 thicknesses: 0.001″, 0.0015″, 0.002″, 0.003″, 0.004″, 0.005″, 0.006″, 0.007″, 0.008″, 0.010″, 0.012″, and 0.015″ sheets, providing comprehensive coverage for various precision spacing needs.

Are these shims suitable for high-temperature applications?

While the low carbon steel provides good general purpose performance, for extreme high-temperature applications, specific high-temperature alloy shims may be more appropriate depending on the operating conditions.

How do I determine which thickness to use for my application?

Measure the gap requiring shimming and select the thickness that provides the optimal fit. For precise applications, consider using multiple thinner shims rather than a single thick one to achieve exact dimensional requirements.
