How to Measure Shim Stock
Shim stock is thin precision material used to fill gaps, align components, adjust tolerances, and achieve accurate spacing in fabrication, machining, maintenance, and assembly applications. Selecting the correct shim stock begins with identifying the required thickness and dimensions.
Determine the thickness needed to achieve the desired fit or alignment. Shim stock is available in a wide range of precision thicknesses.
Measure the required width of the shim material.
Measure the total length needed for your application or determine if the shim stock will be cut to size during fabrication.
Choose a material suitable for your application, such as:
Consider how the shim stock will be used:
Selecting the correct thickness and material helps ensure precise alignment and long-term performance.
