SOLID SHIMS, FOILS AND EXTRA-THIN SHIMS
SOLID SHIMS, FOILS AND EXTRA-THIN SHIMS
Solid shims, foils, and extra-thin shims are precision components used in mechanical assemblies, particularly in aeronautical applications. They are designed to withstand significant stresses such as vibration, tension, and shear forces.
Specifications
Solid shims are made from close-grained materials with predetermined thicknesses, ensuring high accuracy and immediate usability. They are available in various materials including carbon steel, stainless steel, special aeronautical steels, aluminium, brass, bronze, titanium, and polymers like PVC, ABS, Polyester, Kapton, and Mylar.
Advantages
- Extreme precision and made-to-measure production.
- Immediate usability on-site.
- High resistance to mechanical constraints.
- Available in thicknesses starting from 0.01 mm for stainless steel.
Extra-Thin Shims
These are used to compensate for minimal play, often less than 1/10th of a millimeter. They are available in thicknesses of 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, and 0.20 mm, and down to 0.01 mm for stainless steel. They are machined for precision and are burr-free.
Materials and Dimensions
- Carbon steels: Available in foils or sheets of 1000 x 1000 or 1500 x 2500 mm.
- Stainless steels: Available in foils or sheets of 1000 x 1000 or 1500 x 2500 mm.
- Special aeronautical steels: Available in sheets of 1000 x 2000 mm, 5/10ths to 3 mm thick.
- Other materials include aluminium, brass, bronze, titanium, and various polymers.
Conclusion
Solid shims and extra-thin shims by Jicey offer high precision and reliability for demanding applications, particularly in the aeronautical sector. Their wide range of materials and dimensions ensures suitability for various mechanical requirements.
Catalog excerpts
SOLID SHIMS, FOILS AND EXTRA-THIN SHIMS Solid shims, whether ground or otherwise, consist of a close-grained material of predetermined thickness. They are used in all cases in which there are significant stresses (vibration, tension, shear forces, etc.). They are of very high accuracy since they are strictly made to measure and for immediate use on site. They are therefore found in some aeronautical mechanical assemblies such as mountings for equipments mounted on civil and military aircraft engines. Individual extra-thin shims are solid shims used to compensate for play that is often less than 1/1 Oth of a millimetre. Made to drawing, in steel, aluminium, stainless steel or polymer, they are produced in thicknesses of 0.025, 0.05, 0.10 and 0.20 mm and even down to 0.01 mm for stainless steel. Whatever the shape, they are machined and not cut out. Jicey therefore guarantees a high precision part without burrs for very thin shimming. Solid shims are available in a very wide range of dimensions, thicknesses, hardnesses and materials: - Carbon steels from foils or sheets of 1000 x 1000 or 1500 x 2500 mm (DC03 / DC04 steel with average mechanical resistance, XC75 steel, tempered or not, with strong mechanical resistance) - Stainless steels from foils or sheets of 1000 x 1000 or 1500 x 2500 mm (AISI 304 / 306 / 321 stainless steel) - Special aeronautical steels from sheets of 1000 x 2000, 5/10ths to - PVC, ABS, Polyester, Kapton, Mylar - Extreme precision - Strictly made to measure - High resistance to constraints - Thicknesses from 0.01 mm for stainless steel Jicey and the Jicey logo are registered trademarks sont des marques déposées Kapton and Mylar are registered trademarks of DUPONT de NEMOURS LCISION SHIMS - MAIL : [email protected] - WEB : WWW.JICEY.COM
