Conjunto de anilhas KS Tools 970.0240

The ks tools shim spacer washer KS Tools 970.0240 set contains 720 individual shims and spacer washers in a variety of thicknesses. These thin metal discs are manufactured for use where precise spacing, axial play adjustment or shim alignment is required in mechanical assemblies. The set is intended to provide a broad selection of sizes so that small incremental adjustments can be made without filing or cutting, supporting maintenance, repair and assembly tasks in workshops and on-site.

Advantages

The selection of 720 pieces offers a wide range of incremental thickness options that enable accurate tolerances and repeatable adjustments. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant metal, the washers maintain shape under compressive loads and promote stable fits between mating parts. The comprehensive assortment reduces downtime by providing on-hand stock of common shim sizes and eliminates the need for custom fabrication in many alignment tasks.

Suitable for

• Adjusting axial clearance and endplay in bearings and shafts
• Precise spacing in gearboxes, pumps and transmission assemblies
• Shimming between flanges, housings and mounting plates
• Height and level adjustments in mechanical fixtures and jigs
• General maintenance, repair and prototyping where small thickness increments are required

Key specifications

• Quantity: 720 pieces in assorted thicknesses
• Material: corrosion-resistant metal
• Form factor: flat shim / spacer washer with central hole
• Intended use: spacing, shimming and axial adjustment in mechanical assemblies
• Packaging: organized set for workshop use

How to use

Select a shim or combination of shims to achieve the required total thickness, then insert the shim(s) between the mating surfaces or over the shaft as needed. Tighten fasteners to the specified torque while verifying the resulting clearance or preload using feeler gauges, dial indicators or other metrology tools. For incremental adjustment, add or remove individual shims until the desired fit is achieved. Store remaining pieces in the organizer to maintain size order and prevent loss.

Recommendations

Inspect mating surfaces for damage or contamination before installation; clean contact areas to ensure accurate shimming. When multiple shims are stacked, orient them to avoid misalignment of the central hole. Verify material compatibility with adjacent components and avoid over-tightening which could deform thin shims. Use appropriate metrology tools to confirm final clearance or preload values.
