Shim Rings (Precision Washers)
Shim rings (precision shim washers) are thin stainless rings with closely controlled thickness. They slip over a shaft next to a bearing or gear to take up accumulated tolerance and set axial clearance or preload. Sizes read inside x outside x thickness: 16*20*0.1 is a 16 mm bore, 20 mm outside diameter and 0.1 mm thickness. Ten thicknesses from 0.01 to 1.0 mm can be stacked to reach the gap you need.

How to choose
304 stainless Corrosion resistant; thin gauges do not rust or discolour easily.
- Measure the gap first, then build it up with a thick shim and fine-tune with thin ones; fewer pieces make a more stable stack.
- Choose the bore by shaft diameter. Beside a bearing inner ring, keep the outside diameter within the inner ring; beside an outer ring, keep the bore clear of the balls and cage.
- Shims of 0.05 mm and thinner are very soft. Handle them flat and discard any piece that has been creased.
- A flat washer spreads bolt load and is not made to a close thickness; use a shim ring when you are setting clearance.
