Ring Shims
Precisely align, level, and adjust spacing on fasteners, shafts, and machinery with these shims.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than steel shims. 316 stainless steel shims have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shims.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded, but aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Brass and copper shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.

Tight-Fit Ring Shims
For a snug fit around a shaft, the ID of these shims is held to a tighter tolerance than other ring shims.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like brass, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than alloy steel shims. Brass shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.

Disc Shims
Use these round shims as they are, or punch out the middle to create the ID you need. They include a material certificate with traceable lot number.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than carbon steel shims.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded.

Shims for Keyed Shafts
Precisely shaped to fit snugly on keyed shafts, these shims align, level, and space components. Because of their tight fit, they also help components rotate in unison with the shaft.
Shims with a notch need the key inserted. They’re often referred to as arbor spacers.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than carbon steel shims. Use them in wet environments where rust is a concern.
Carbon steel shims are stronger than stainless steel shims, but shouldn’t be used in wet environments.

Slotted Shims
The slot lets you insert, remove, and adjust the shims without disassembling your machinery, while the tab keeps fingers and tools away from machine feet. Use an insertion tool (sold separately) for better leverage and reach. Shims are etched with the thickness.
18-8 stainless steel shims have a balance of strength and corrosion resistance.

Shim Stock
Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Sheets come flat packed.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like copper or aluminum, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment. Metal shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number. Most shims include a test report.
Stainless steel shim stock is more corrosion resistant than steel shim stock. 316 stainless steel shim stock has the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shim stock.
Carbon steel shim stock has excellent strength and can be welded, but isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Spring steel shim stock is comparable in strength to carbon steel shim stock, but is harder and holds its shape better. It isn't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Aluminum shim stock is lightweight and nonmagnetic. It has good corrosion resistance. Material will vary between Alloys 1100, 1145, and 1235.
Brass, copper, and bronze shim stock is corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic. Copper shim stock is a good conductor of heat and electricity, so it's often used when installing heat sinks.
Nickel shim stock is our most corrosion resistant shim stock.
PTFE plastic shim stock is slippery, so it can be used to reduce friction between parts. It also has excellent chemical resistance.

Color-Coded Shim Stock
This shim stock is color-coded by thickness for easy identification. Cut it into custom shapes to fit your application. Shim stock is corrosion resistant. Sheets come flat packed.
Painted aluminum shim stock is stronger than plastic stock. It includes a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
Plastic shim stock works well in light duty applications. It's easier to cut than aluminum stock.

Made-to-Order Shims
For unique shim shapes or sizes, send a dimensioned STEP or DXF file to chi.sales@mcmaster.com and we’ll precision cut your shim. Shims include a material certificate with traceable lot number and test report.
Please leave at least 1/8" wall between shim edge and holes. Minimum hole size is 1/8". Shims should be no smaller than 1" × 1" square or 1" OD. Maximum shim dimension is the largest overall length, width, or diameter of your custom shim.
For accurate leveling, choose materials such as steel or stainless steel, which are hard enough to resist scratching and deforming. Softer shims, like brass, can be used as wear plates between components that rub together, preventing damage to equipment.
Stainless steel shims are more corrosion resistant than carbon steel shims. 316 stainless steel shims have the best corrosion resistance of our stainless steel shims.
Carbon steel shims have excellent strength and can be welded, but they aren't as corrosion resistant as other shims.
Brass shims are corrosion resistant and nonmagnetic.
