Laminum® HP Ultra Thin Shims: Fast, Accurate Tolerance Compensation in Sub-Assembly Mounting
Laminum® HP is a high-precision, multilayer peelable laminated shim that enables tolerance compensation for sub-assembly installations with optimised accuracy down to 10 µm. Its hybrid design combines the speed of peelable layers with the precision of ultra thin metal shims in a single, easy-to-handle component.

What Makes Laminum® HP Ultra Thin Shims Unique?
Laminum® HP combines peelable layers with ultra thin metal shims in a single laminated shim, enabling capabilities that conventional shims cannot match. This hybrid design enhances assembly, making it simpler and more efficient.
- 0.05 mm peelable layers that allow quick and easy adjustment during initial setup
- 10 to 25 µm precision films, which enable the final fine-tuning step in high-precision applications, making these among the most capable ultra thin shims available for sub-assembly work
- Optimised design that minimises material use and simplifies handling while delivering higher accuracy than fully laminated 25 µm thin-foil shims. For full details, see the Laminated Material List
- A time and cost-efficient solution that reduces material and production effort by replacing fully laminated 25 µm spacers while retaining the same precision
- Fast and user-friendly handling, including a slightly raised finger lift on the ultra thin shim precision films for easy identification and removal
Applications and Process Benefits
Laminum® HP ultra thin shims are ideal for precision sub-assemblies in industries where tight tolerances are critical, including automotive, aerospace, and high-precision machinery. The hybrid peelable design allows engineers to quickly adapt assembly tolerances on site, reducing costly rework and eliminating the need for additional spacer elements.
With thicker laminated shim layers for rapid initial adjustment and ultra thin metal shims for final fine-tuning, Laminum® HP streamlines the production workflow, enabling faster and more consistent accuracy across the entire assembly process.
Mark Your Laminum® HP Shim
Shim Solution recommends marking your Laminum® HP ultra thin shims for easy identification and use.
Marking methods depend on the material and thickness:
- Laser marking (for thicknesses of 0.2 mm and above)
- Inkjet
Reference Georg Martin GmbH as the source when adding marking information to your drawings. We guarantee the mechanical properties of our materials to ensure the quality of your assemblies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laminum® HP Ultra Thin Shims
What are ultra thin shims?
Ultra thin shims are precision spacer components manufactured to very fine thicknesses, typically measured in micrometers. They are used in high-precision assemblies where standard-thickness shims cannot achieve the degree of accuracy required. Laminum® HP ultra thin shims from Shim Solution include precision films at 10 to 25 µm, enabling tolerance compensation down to 10 micrometers. View the full product range.
What makes Laminum® HP different from standard laminated shims?
Standard Laminum® laminated shims use peelable layers of a single foil thickness throughout. Laminum® HP uses a hybrid construction combining 0.05 mm peelable layers for rapid initial adjustment with 10 to 25 µm ultra thin metal shims for precise final calibration. This allows a single product to handle both coarse and fine tolerance compensation, replacing fully laminated 25 µm spacers while reducing material use and handling time.
What tolerance accuracy does Laminum® HP achieve?
Laminum® HP ultra thin shims achieve tolerance compensation optimised to 10 µm, making them suitable for the most demanding high-precision sub-assembly applications in automotive, aerospace, and precision machinery.
What industries are Laminum® HP ultra thin shims used in?
Laminum® HP is ideal for industries where tight assembly tolerances are critical, including automotive, aerospace, and high-precision machinery manufacturing. Its on-site adjustability makes it well suited for sub-assembly installations where rework costs must be minimised.
How does the finger lift feature work on Laminum® HP?
The ultra thin metal shim precision films in Laminum® HP include a slightly raised finger lift, which allows the user to identify and remove individual precision films quickly and accurately without tools. This feature is key to the product’s fast and user-friendly handling in production environments.
How does Laminum® HP save time and cost compared to fully laminated thin-foil shims?
By combining thicker peelable layers for initial setup with ultra thin shims for final calibration, Laminum® HP removes the need for fully laminated 25 µm spacer stacks. This reduces the total number of layers handled, lowers material consumption, and speeds up the assembly process while maintaining equivalent precision.
