Aerospace Shims

Fine Adjustments

Shims have a range of uses and essentially act similarly to washers but on a much larger scale.

Laminated shims work as a spacer between two other objects when manufacturing components. They’re particularly prevalent in the aerospace industry and the repair of aerospace components.

Benefits

The real benefit of laminated shims is adjustability. Shims are made from delicate layers of metal foil, which can be peeled off for ultra-fast adjustment. In essence, the product is designed to fill gaps or provide a level surface. The product can also reduce wear and tear in machinery components where the shim is utilised for alignment and adjustment, prolonging the life expectancy of the machine.
