What Makes M-Tech® Motor Shims Unique?
- Reduced machine configuration costs: Eliminates the need for extensive mechanical adjustments before assembly, making these motor alignment shims a cost-efficient first choice
- Lower component costs: Using motor shims allows for more flexible component tolerances, reducing overall production costs
- Shorter processing times: Motor shims are readily available at the assembly point, helping to minimise logistical delays
- Improved handling and user satisfaction: Choosing the appropriate material type such as M-Tech®L, M-Tech®S, or M-Tech®P enhances safety, usability, and overall user experience
Benefits of Metallic Motor Shims
- Cost-effective and efficient: Combining solid and laminated motor shims reduces the time required for adjustments
- Efficiency with M-Tech®P: Offers a tear-off calendar format for quick tolerance compensation, allowing flexibility with both removed and remaining elements, well suited for use as electric motor shims during installation and servicing
- Accurate dimensional adjustments: Tolerances can be precisely compensated up to 0.05 mm, depending on the product
- Variety of base materials: Options include stainless steel and brass for M-Tech®L and M-Tech®S, while M-Tech®P is exclusively available in stainless steel

Frequently Asked Questions About M-Tech® Motor Shims
What are motor shims and what are they used for?
Motor shims are standardised metallic spacers used to achieve precise tolerance compensation during motor assembly and repair. They are placed under or around motor housings to correct alignment, level the motor on its mounting surface, and reduce vibration. M-Tech® slotted motor shims from Shim Solution are designed specifically for this purpose and are available in multiple material and thickness options.
What are motor alignment shims?
Motor alignment shims are thin metallic spacers inserted beneath motor feet or mounting points to bring the motor shaft into precise alignment with a coupled component such as a pump or gearbox. Correct motor alignment shims reduce vibration, bearing wear, and energy consumption. M-Tech® slotted shims are a reliable standardised solution for this application.
What is the difference between M-Tech®L, M-Tech®S, and M-Tech®P motor shims?
M-Tech®L and M-Tech®S slotted motor shims are available in stainless steel and brass. M-Tech®P uses a tear-off calendar format for quick tolerance compensation and is available exclusively in stainless steel. The choice between them depends on the application environment, required material, and preferred adjustment method. Contact Shim Solution for a recommendation specific to your setup.
How accurately can M-Tech® motor shims compensate for tolerances?
M-Tech® slotted motor shims can compensate for tolerances precisely up to 0.05 mm, depending on the product variant selected.
Can M-Tech® slotted shims be used as electric motor shims?
Yes. M-Tech® slotted shims are well suited for use as electric motor shims during both initial installation and routine servicing. Their slotted design allows them to be inserted and removed without fully dismounting the motor, which reduces downtime during maintenance.
Can M-Tech® motor shims be used as motor mount shims?
Yes. M-Tech® slotted shims are commonly used as motor mount shims to level and stabilise a motor on its baseplate. Combining solid and laminated shim variants reduces the time required for adjustments and allows for flexible component tolerances across a range of mounting configurations.
Where can I download the M-Tech® slotted shims product specifications?
The full product range details are available in the M-Tech® Slotted Shims PDF. Additional material specifications are available in the Laminated Material List and Solid Material List.
How do I order M-Tech® motor shims?
Submit an inquiry through the Shim Solution website. The technical sales team will confirm the right product variant, material, and thickness for your application and arrange a sample set or full order as required.
