FAQ Stainless Steel Slotted Shim Questions
Below you will find some commonly asked questions. We hope you will find this helpful. Once you have reviewed these questions and still want to ask another question, please contact us.
What are slotted motor shims used for?
Primarily they are used under motor feet to adjust the height of a motor. This allows for the accurate alignment of the shafts between pumps and motors. They can also be used to help level equipment during installation.
Why are thickness tolerances so important?
Think about it. If you are using precision alignment equipment to determine the soft foot (gap) under a motor foot, you will want to install shims that are as close as possible to that gap's thickness. With our guaranteed thickness they will be "right-on" when you do that final check. This will save time of having to do another measurement rotation.
Aren’t all precut slotted shims marked with an "actual" thickness?
No, the thickness marked on most shims is just nominally close. Nominally close can be defined as whatever thickness tolerance is acceptable to that manufacturer. This means that the thickness can vary considerably from what is marked on the shim. Using Precision Brand® shims gives your customers the advantage. Remember that PBP is the only shim manufacturer to publish and guarantee slotted shim tolerances.
What about shims that claim to be marked with an "exact" thickness like .098 instead of .100?
Solve for X: 20+20+20+20+X=100 (on-size shims) OR Solve for X: 22+19+20+19+X=100 (off-size shims)
Working with "on-size" shims eliminates the time spent searching for that "perfect combination".
How do I know that I am getting the best?
Prove it to yourself. Mic your shims with a micrometer or a caliper to determine the thickness (especially .050 and thicker!). Make sure to check in more than one spot to look for consistency throughout the shim. Compare these findings to what the shim is labeled. While you are checking, also look for burrs and crown (non-flatness). These two conditions can create false readings in the equipment that will lead to wasted shimming time. Put Precision Brand Slotted Shim to the test and I am sure that you will find it to be the best!
