Product Announcements: Shims and Shim Stock

LAMECO Laminated shims are designed with special materials which have the property of being easily peelable into thin strips of a few thousandths of an inch.

They are used to precisely fill space between components, to achieve the truest possible fit within mechanical assemblies. (read more)

INTERCOMPOSITE® is a unique patented LAMECO material made of a glycol polyethylene terephthalate film obtained by a slit-die extrusion process, followed by a double-drawing. (read more)

X.FIBER^® is a laminated material, designed and patented by Daniel GASTEL. The sheets are held together by a heat-hardened resin, the resulting material delivers both very high technical performance and excellent peelability. (read more)

LAMECO is the first to incorporate an electronic identifier inside the laminated shim, allowing it to communicate. A chip is inserted within the shim's layers. Next, the chip is encoded with the shim's identity. From that moment on, the information contained in the chip can be deciphered by a hand-held reader. (read more)

Any mechanical assembly in working order generates vibrations that are source of harmful frequencies. Finding a solution to this critical drawback, Daniel GASTEL designed and patented a new laminated product called SILENTLINE^®. (read more)

Out of roundness & distortion due to heat from welding of tubes can result in many issues when attempting to mount bearings. Tolerance Rings compensate for these conditions, allowing ease of bearing assembly without fear of bearing damage or misalignment, leading to premature field failures. There is no need to do secondary operations, to mask bearing bores when painting, or to rework. (read more)

Tolerance Rings provide an economical solution to protect valuable equipment by allowing overload protection predictable within limits. (read more)

Tolerance Rings are a low cost means of fastening round parts to one another. They can be used as an assembly aid. They can be used to allow indexing of mating components. They can allow for ease of disassembly if reworking is needed. (read more)

Tolerance rings allow for infinite rotational indexing of parts while fixing the components together. There is no need for tight component tolerances or high press forces that can cause damage to the magnets surface. Unlike glue stainless steel rings have no cure time and do not react with magnets surface. The rings can perform over a wide range of temperatures. (read more)
