488-9983: 3 Mm Shim

A shim is a thin strip and often tapered or wedged piece of material. Shims are designed to provide a tight fit between machined parts by securely holding mechanical parts in place to reduce excessive wear on adjacent parts and hardware. Shims are often used with a number of similar shims or strips. Attributes: ● Corrosion-resistant, highly formable, and non-magnetic ● Provides superior protection, being manufactured from high quality materials with properties that provide a long wear life, and the high performance the demand. Applications: A Shim is typically used in order to support, adjust for better fit, or provide a level surface and to fill small gaps or spaces between parts subject to wear.
