M-Tech® Alignment Shims
– Practical refill packages
– Robust and handy kits
– “Standard” shim kits with normal weight
– “Non-standard” light weight shim kits
– Stainless steel, aluminium, PET and POM
– Precision alignment shims come in cases and refill packs
In addition to standard stainless-steel shims, there are also the non-standard options. Depending on the type, non-standard shims offer higher adjustment accuracy or weight savings. The plastic variants can also be used as a damping or electrical insulating element. PET and POM are known as mechanically robust plastics.
The multi-layered versions are the particularity of our alignment shims.
They can be supplemented with normal, solid shims. In this way, only a few parts can replace entire cases made of solid shims. Service technicians can now proceed in a very targeted manner. More precise alignment allows a higher durability of the assembled components and less weight makes the installation easier and saves on transport costs.
Here are some application examples of the different types:
1. The fully laminated, multi-layer shims made of M-Tech® L HP5. HP stands for high precision, with a 25 micron layer complementing the 50 micron layers. These variants are also available in stainless steel or wrought aluminium, which is HP1 or HP3.
2. The edge-welded M-Tech® V shims are very useful as well. The flat shims are pressed together before welding and form a unified package. Like a tear-off calendar, layers can be removed and can also be reused if necessary.
3. M-Tech®S solid shims are clean, burr-free and flat. The range is rounded off by shims, of 25 micrometres and 3 millimetres. By these means, shafts can be perfectly aligned.
