Laminated Shims
Laminated Shims in Steel / Aluminum Laminated shim stock is comprised
of layers of metal foil. Each layer is .002",or .003"
thick. The foil layers are coated with a very thin adhesive, and
then are compressed and bonded into a single solid sheet. Sheets
can be any thickness -- typical are .020", 1/16", 1/8".
When the sheets are cut into shims, the resultant parts are ideal
for the aeronautical, armament, and shipbuilding industries.
The laminating process allows individual layers of foil to be peeled
off with a knife blade on site to achieve the desired thickness
for each shim. In this way the close tolerances of a precision shim
is obtained without the considerable time and expense of precision
manufacturing of each shim. Laminated shims have the advantages
of solid shims and loose leaf shims in one. But instead of having
to stack a number of thin and easily damaged individual shims, a
single shim can be slipped into position.
Savings on shim inventory and handling damage can be significant.
The use of laminated shims also prevents dirt and foreign matter
from being introduced between layers. When in place, the compressibility
or "cold flow" of a laminated shim is less than that of
either a solid or a loose leaf shim.
Laminated shims are available in brass, carbon steel, stainless
steel, and aluminum.
