Failure Symptoms

A failing or missing shim might initially manifest as slight increases in operating noise or a subtle change in system responsiveness. If uncorrected, improper clearances can lead to accelerated wear on adjacent components and reduced operational efficiency. The ultimate consequence is premature failure of the adjusted assembly due to excessive stress and friction.

Installation Tip

Ensure all mating surfaces are meticulously clean and free of any burrs or imperfections before placing the shim. Never reuse a shim that has been deformed or shows signs of wear; always install a new, correctly specified shim.

Service Note

When replacing shims, always inspect the related bearings, gears, or shafts for signs of wear or damage.
