Slotted Shim FAQs
Slotted shims come in a range of forms and may be used for many applications. An open, generally U-shaped slot is a common feature. They may be used as conventional spacers or can be placed around existing bolts and screws. Some slotted shims have tabs on them to make insertion easier.
Slotted shims are utilised on assembled machine components to maximise alignment and balance. Slotted shims are great for delivering consistent alignment and preventing costly equipment damage.
Selecting the correct size involves measuring the gap or spacing you need to adjust. Ensure the shim’s slot dimensions and thickness match your specifications. If you need any assistance with the ideal sizing for your needs, simply get in touch with our expert team.
It depends on the material. Metal-slotted shims are often suitable for harsh environments, while plastic-slotted shims may be designed for specific conditions. Check the product specifications for environmental suitability.
Slotted shims can generally be reused if they remain in good condition. Inspect them before reuse to ensure they still meet your requirements. If your slotted shims are no longer reusable, call us at 02 4646 1166, and we’ll assist you in ordering the replacements you need.
A slotted shim kit typically includes a variety of slotted shims in different sizes and thicknesses, allowing for flexibility in adjusting and aligning components. Some kits may also include accessories like spacers or tools for installation.
