Shim Materials

Metal Shims

SPIROL manufactures Metal Shims from an extensive inventory of raw material which includes steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and many exotic materials and thicknesses ranging from 19mm (.750") to foils as thin as 0.02mm (.001"). Beyond single sheet material, we also inventory laminated shim stock for the manufacture of our Laminated Shims. In addition to thousands of off-the-shelf standard material types and sizes, SPIROL will also manufacture Shims from any special material procured from our certified raw material suppliers.
