Shims for marine and offshore shaft alignment
High-quality stainless steel shims designed to ensure accurate shaft alignment for marine and offshore machinery.
Reliable shaft alignment is essential for minimizing vibration and wear in propulsion systems, pumps, generators, and other rotating equipment at sea and offshore. Our stainless steel shims simplify alignment and provide a stable, precise foundation even in demanding conditions.
Each shim is clearly marked for quick handling, and the range of sizes and thicknesses fits most ISO standard motor feet on vessels and offshore installations. Durable, corrosion resistant, and easy to use, the shims support long term machinery performance and reduced downtime.
Poor alignment is the most common cause of excessive vibration in machines, causing a waste of energy as well as damage to bearings and couplings. In turn, this increases your operating costs and reduces the efficiency of your machines, ultimately influencing company profitability.
The shims come in packs of ten and also in assortments of cases for ease of use. High-quality, accurate, and individually marked, they help cut the time for machine alignment to an absolute minimum. Quantity discounts are available.
