Accessories for SKF shaft alignment devices – precut shims

A precut shim is a precise component used during shaft alignment, machinery leveling, and height correction of equipment installed on foundations. In this category, you will find SKF precut shim kits, which facilitate the accurate positioning of motors, pumps, gearboxes, and other coupled machinery.

Application and characteristics

Accessories for shaft alignment devices are used in conjunction with laser measuring instruments when a machine position correction is required after measurements have been taken. Precut shims allow for the precise lifting of a selected machine foot and leveling of its height in accordance with the values specified by the alignment system.

SKF shims from the TMAS series are manufactured from stainless steel, ensuring high corrosion resistance and allowing for repeated use during maintenance tasks. Their pre-shaped design, mounting slots, and precise thickness facilitate quick installation without the need to completely dismantle the machine.

A precut shim kit is particularly effective for:

• shaft alignment of motors, pumps, fans, and gearboxes,
• correcting the height of coupled machinery,
• eliminating the so-called soft foot phenomenon,
• leveling industrial equipment on foundations and baseframes,
• installation work, technical inspections, and overhauls in maintenance operations.

Correctly selected spacer shims reduce stress in the system, minimize vibrations, and help maintain stable drive operations. This has a direct impact on the service life of bearings, seals, couplings, and other rotating machinery components.

Key advantages

• Precise height correction – enables accurate leveling of machinery during shaft alignment.
• Stainless steel – corrosion resistant and suitable for multiple uses in industrial environments.
• Ready to install – the slots allow the shims to be slid under the machine foot without full disassembly.
• Safe handling – rounded edges and the absence of burrs reduce the risk of injury during application.
• Elimination of soft foot – better machinery support and reduced risk of alignment errors.
• Extended drive system lifespan – reduced loads on bearings, seals, and couplings.
