Durable Aluminium Shims and Special Washers for Precision Applications
Conex’s Aluminium Shims and Special Washers provide precise spacing, superior load distribution, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for diverse industrial uses.
Precision-engineered Aluminium Shims and Special Washers by Conex, delivering reliable performance, durability, and optimal spacing solutions for critical applications.
At Conex Aluminium Components, we manufacture **Aluminium Shims and Special Washers** tailored for precision spacing and load distribution needs. These components are engineered for demanding environments, ensuring accurate alignment and enhanced stability in machinery, automotive systems, and construction projects. Crafted from high-quality aluminium, our shims and washers offer lightweight durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with various fasteners. Available in standard sizes or fully customizable designs, Conex’s shims and special washers are designed to meet exact specifications, offering reliable solutions for both industrial and commercial applications.
Shims are thin precision spacers used to adjust clearance, alignment and preload in assemblies. Special washers include slotted, tabbed, stepped, keyed, D-shaped and other non-standard washers made to drawing.
Shims are available from about 0.05 mm to 3 mm thick, as individual pieces, graded sets or laminated peelable packs.
1050 and 3003 are used for soft, conformable shims, while 5052 and 6061 are used where flatness and strength are more important.
Precision shims are held to thickness tolerances of about ±0.01–0.02 mm, with good flatness and burr-free edges.
Round, rectangular, slotted (U-shaped) machine shims, keyed washers and complex custom profiles are laser cut or stamped to drawing.
They are used for machinery and motor alignment, gearbox and bearing preload, electrical assemblies, automotive and aerospace structures.
Laminated shims are made from thin layers bonded together; layers are peeled off during assembly to fine-tune the thickness without machining.
Aluminium shims are lighter, non-magnetic, easy to cut and galvanically compatible with aluminium parts.
Natural, anodized and chromate conversion finishes are available.
Stamping is used for volume production, while laser cutting and waterjet are used for prototypes and complex shapes without tooling.
Yes. Thickness or part numbers can be etched, laser marked or printed for easy identification.
Thickness is measured with micrometers, flatness on a surface plate, and profiles are checked against the drawing.
Yes. Custom shapes and sizes are produced to drawing from an MOQ of 10 pieces.
Samples are typically available within 1–3 weeks and production within 3–5 weeks.
Please provide dimensions, thickness and tolerance, alloy, finish and quantity.
