SHIMS

Liberty Fastener Shims

Liberty Fastener guarantees we'll have the fastener you need, and if we don't, we promise to find it for you. Take our selection of shims, for example. We offer quality shims in all of our materials and finishes, ranging from sizes .002" to .004".

Shim Facts

  • A shim is like a flat washer that is used for aligning materials and is mostly found in tooling applications for the most precise control.

  • Shims can provide a buffer between materials (especially rotating), so that the machine does not break or suffer due to excessive wear-and-tear.

  • Shims can be used to fill a space in an assembly.

  • Shims are used to adjust the fit of various parts in an assembly.

The Right Shim for You

Like with most fasteners, there are standard shims and shim sizes and there are custom design options. For those times you need an exotic or specialty shim, come to Liberty Fastener and let us get the part you need made right.

If you already have the dimensions and you just need the part, we'll get to work right away to provide you with your custom shims.

Applications

Shims can be found in most machining and tooling industries, but here are a few other places you might need to use them:

  • All types of motors and gears

  • Ventilation machines

  • Hydraulic applications

  • Engineering equipment

  • Aerospace and automotive industries

Colored Shim

Flat stock allows shims to be cut and created to suit individual applications. Color coding makes identifying the thickness of the shim stock easy and quicker to use and install.  

Flat Shim

Shim stock works to solve alignment and leveling problems within machinery. Flat shim stock is easy to use and versatile. Simply cut with scissors into whatever shape you require in your application.

Laminated Shim

Pressure and adhesive is used to bond metal shim together to create a rigid “one piece” that can function as one shim or layers can be peeled away to produce a shim of required thickness. 

Rolled shim

Shim stock works to solve alignment and leveling problems within machinery. Rolled shim is simple to use and available in plenty of types that are suited for a variety of applications.
