SEPARABLE

Separable shims are made up of a stack of individual layers joinedto each other by points of glue on the edge only. They are used for assemblies that only require adjustment with average precision. The layers can be peeled off very easily by hand, which makes separable shims particularly suited for difficult climatic conditions and surroundings (public works, etc.).

LAMINATEDPEELABLESHIMS ANDSEPARABLE SHIMS

Laminated peelable shims are highly technical adjustment shims.They are made up of a stack of individual layers glued together over their whole surface area, and they form a laminated block of compact appearance made up of several metal, composite or mixed (metal and polymer) layers. Each individual layer that makes up a shim can be peeled off very easily, until the precise thicknessrequired is obtained. The shim can therefore be perfectly and easily adjusted to compensate for the play in a mechanical assembly in a precise manner. This ingenious process avoids the machining and grinding of solid shims, while providing a level of precision that is comparable, or even superior. It also replaces the stacking of thin metal foils, thus avoiding the disadvantages of this type of adjustment. In addition to the gain in assembly time, the ease of use and the reduction in costs, laminated peelable shims enable stocks to be reduced by avoiding the need to keep conventional shims in many thicknesses. Whether standard or perfectly made to measure, to your dimensions and specifications, Jicey laminated peelable shims are available in a wide choice of materials to satisfy all your requirements.

ADVANTAGES : - Time savings that may be more than 50% compared to the grinding of solid shims or the machining of special shims- Easy peeling, instantaneous dimensioning, no more lost time at assembly- Very high precision assembly- Accuracy of the parallelism- Thinness of the individual layers:from 0.025 mm to 0.1 mm- Possible use of the peeled layers for unit adjustment (for separable shims and laminated peelable shims in composite materials)- An economic procedure - Possibility of bi-composition (different thicknesses on each surface) - Reduction of stocks
