Frequently Asked Questions About Laminum® Peelable Shims
What are alignment shims?
Alignment shims are flat precision spacers placed beneath motor feet, pump bases, machine frames, or mounting surfaces to correct height differences, achieve shaft alignment, and compensate for manufacturing tolerances. They eliminate the need for remachining and allow accurate on-site adjustments during assembly and maintenance. View the full Shim Solution product range.
What applications are M-Tech® alignment shims used in?
M-Tech® alignment shims are designed for motor and pump alignment during final assembly and maintenance, height compensation between coupled components, and tolerance adjustment in industrial machinery. They are especially well suited to plant engineering, mechanical drive systems, and general machinery where on-site adjustment without machining is required. Read more about shim applications across industries.
What materials are M-Tech® alignment shims available in?
M-Tech® alignment shims are available in stainless steel, high-strength aluminium (AlMg3.0), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), and POM (polyoxymethylene). The material choice depends on load requirements, weight constraints, and the specific application environment.
What is the thickness range for M-Tech® alignment shims?
Standard M-Tech®S solid alignment shims in stainless steel are available from 0.025 mm to 2.0 mm. Refill packs cover all thicknesses from 0.025 mm to 3.0 mm. Made-to-order alignment shims are available from 5 µm to 15 mm, including ground assortments.
What is the difference between the standard and non-standard alignment shim kits?
The standard shim kit contains M-Tech®S solid alignment shims in stainless steel, available in 5 size variations from 380 to 780 pieces. The non-standard shim kit is a lighter option that combines M-Tech®V edge-welded shims, M-Tech®L HP5 laminated PET shims, and M-Tech®S solid shims in stainless steel and POM, available in 2 variations of 120 pieces. Both are available in cases and refill packs.
What are M-Tech®V edge-welded alignment shims?
M-Tech®V edge-welded alignment shims are flat, reusable shim foils in stainless steel AISI 304 with individual separable layers. They are part of the non-standard alignment shim range and are suitable for applications where layer-by-layer adjustment and reusability are a priority. They are closely related to the Lamivario® edge-connected shim product family.
Can alignment shims be custom branded or made to special editions?
Yes. Shim Solution offers special editions and custom branding for M-Tech® alignment shims tailored to specific industrial requirements. This includes bespoke packaging, labelling, and product configurations for OEMs and industrial distributors. Contact Shim Solution to discuss your requirements.
