Shim Spacer Washer KS Tools 700.1280 Steel 24 pcs

The KS Tools shim spacer washer set contains 24 steel washers designed to provide precise spacing and stable support in mechanical assemblies. Manufactured from durable steel, these shim spacers resist deformation under load and maintain alignment between mating parts. The compact set is suitable for workshop use, machinery maintenance, and DIY fitting tasks where small adjustments and secure spacing are required.

Advantages

These steel shim washers offer consistent thickness and flatness to ensure repeatable gaps and accurate component alignment. Their corrosion-resistant steel construction delivers long service life in typical workshop and light-industrial environments. Supplied as a set of 24 pieces, the assortment reduces the need to source individual washers and allows users to combine spacers for fine incremental adjustments.

Suitable for

• Aligning shafts, bearings and gear sets
• Adjusting clearance in assemblies and housings
• Supporting components to prevent metal-to-metal contact
• Shimming under flanges, brackets and mounting plates

Key specifications

• Material: steel
• Quantity: 24 pieces
• Type: shim spacer washers
• Finish: plain/metallic

How to use

Select the required number and combination of shim washers to achieve the needed stack thickness. Place shims between mating surfaces or around a shaft as required, ensuring flat contact and even distribution of load. When combining multiple shims, align their holes and edges before tightening fasteners to maintain concentricity. Inspect the assembled fit and make incremental changes if necessary to reach the specified clearance or alignment.

Recommendations

For reliable results, use clean, undamaged shims and avoid overtightening which can deform thin washers. Store the set in a dry place to minimise surface corrosion. When used in precision assemblies, measure stack thickness with a feeler gauge or micrometer after installation to confirm dimensions.
