Adjusting shim

Precision Metal & Custom Shims SPIROL specializes in the custom manufacturing of tightly toleranced Precision Shims, Specialty Washers and Thin Spacers. Precision Shims are often used as compensators to absorb accumulated tolerances between mating components. Shims can also significantly reduce manufacturing time and costs as they eliminate the need for each component to be precision-machined to achieve the proper fit and function of the total assembly. SPIROL manufactures Shims using a variety of stamping methods, machining processes and laser technology to meet your specific lead time and total cost considerations. Whether a project is for prototype, short run or long-term requirements, SPIROL has a solution to minimise costs by controlling - or even eliminating - tooling costs. In addition to having flexibility in our primary operations, SPIROL also performs most secondary processes in-house including heat treating, grinding, lapping, high speed polishing deburring, finishing and passivation. This enables SPIROL to maintain control over quality, cost and lead time for our Shims. SPIROL produces Shims custom-made to customer specifications in thicknesses ranging from 0.02mm up to 24.5mm (.001" up to 1.000") from a comprehensive inventory of standard raw materials including, but not limited to: Carbon steel Stainless steel Aluminium Brass Copper
