Washers for bearings

Bearing shims are auxiliary machine components intended for fitting and seating bearings in assembly units. The category covers products that serve as an intermediate layer between the bearing and the surrounding structure.

The general functions of shims include ensuring the correct seating of the bearing, separating contact surfaces, and distributing loads at the bearing seat. Shims can be designed to meet various requirements for geometry and mounting strength.

In industrial applications, bearing shims are used in assemblies where precise positioning is required or to protect the bearing from direct contact with surrounding parts. Variants differ in shape and material properties depending on the specific application.
