Shims And Spacers

Shims and spacers are thin, flat components made from corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum alloys (e.g., 6061), stainless steel, or plastics. They are used to fill small gaps, enable precise alignments and spacing adjustments, distribute loads evenly, and compensate for movement between assembled parts in automotive, aerospace, machinery, construction, and other industrial applications. The strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional accuracy of shims and spacers are critical for ensuring proper fit and function in their end-use environments.
