SPIROL
THE ADVANTAGES OF USING EDGE BONDED SHIMS to being fully laminated, Laminated Shims can also be partially solid and partially laminated. This type of Shim is either half-solid or three-quarter solid, depending on the ratio of solid section to total thickness. Semi-solid Shims add rigidity to a design by meeting the performance requirements of a thicker, solid Shim as they provide a bearing surface on one side, yet allow adjustments to the overall thickness of the Shim by enabling the user to peel off unwanted layers from the other side...

SPIROL
Laminated Shims SPIROL produces precision shims with or without a tool to meet lead-time and total cost considerations. Shims are thin pieces of material often used as compensators to fill in small gaps between objects aligning parts, reducing wear and absorbing tolerances between mating components. Shims can also significantly reduce manufacturing time and costs as they eliminate the need for each component to be precision machined in order to achieve the proper fit and function of the total assembly...

CR4 - Thread: Re-babbitt bearing procedure
Both have to be babbitted and normally are fitted with shims before machining to size (after babbitting) These applications usually use a mandrel somewhat smaller than the crank. dia. to allow the babbitt to be machined to size. In the case of a car motor we use a line boring tool for the block and …
