Brass Shims

Brass shims are precision-engineered components made from brass, a durable and corrosion-resistant metal alloy that primarily consists of copper and zinc. They are utilised to fill gaps, align parts, and provide support in various mechanical applications across industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Due to their superior strength and ability to withstand high temperatures, brass shims are ideal for situations where standard materials might fail. Their versatility enables them to improve the performance and longevity of machinery by reducing wear and tear on critical components.
In addition to their functional benefits, brass shims come in various thicknesses and sizes, making them suitable for custom applications. They can be easily cut or shaped to meet specific needs, allowing for precise adjustments to the alignment of machinery and equipment. This adaptability makes brass shims an essential tool for maintenance, repairs, and new installations alike. By ensuring components fit seamlessly together, brass shims help enhance efficiency, reduce vibration, and minimise noise in mechanical systems, ultimately contributing to improved overall performance.

Our Shim stock starts at 0.005mm thick and goes as high as 3.00mm thick (5 microns to 3000 microns)

Order your Brass Shims

You can order just a meter length of shim (ideal for R & D) and have it delivered the next working day if your company is based in Europe. We deliver with 2-3 working days anywhere else in the World.
