Shims are usually made from metal or laminated sheets and are often used in the fine-tuning phase of an assembly.

They can be used to adjust clearances and alignments that can result from varying tolerances in parts manufacturing. The key function of a shim is to ensure that the parts of a configuration fit together.

The most important aspect to consider are the other materials used in the assembly.

If the requested material is not available in the desired thickness or material width, shims can be manufactured from a compensatory or laminated material.

To make ordering shims as smooth as possible, it helps to have precise information on the number and desired material of the product. Also, information on the tolerances of the assembly is important.
