CS4 Stainless Steel Shim

Basically, a shim or a foil is a thin piece of material (such as metal) which is used to fit in between components (such as in machinery) to adjust the fit or alignment. Over time, parts of machines can get worn away or ground down, resulting in the part losing its functionality, but the introduction of shims can reduce this wear and tear, allowing the machine to last longer and keep to its required levels of accuracy. We offer a wide range of thicknesses when it comes to our stainless steel shims (please see the table below), and our stainless steel 304 grade shims come either rolled in a can or flat packed. Ring shims (Precision Washers), CS4 stainless steel shims, brass shims and plastic shims from close tolerance materials, cut to meet drawing needs or samples, hundreds of sizes available from in-house tooling.
