Pads & Shims

Pads and shims adjust, support, or cushion mechanical assemblies and structures. Pads provide a resilient surface for distributing loads and vibrations, protecting sensitive equipment and machinery from damage. They serve as buffers between moving parts, reducing friction and noise while ensuring smooth operation. Shims are thin, flat pieces typically made from metal or plastic used to fill gaps or spaces between components to achieve precise alignment or adjustment. Pads and shims play critical roles in optimizing performance, enhancing stability, and maintaining alignment
