    Stainless Steel Shims FAQ

    Open All

    What is a stainless steel shim used for?

    Maintenance professionals use stainless steel shims to correct machine foot issues, mainly soft foot. If left uncorrected, soft foot can:

    • Damage machinery from the inside out

    • Distort the machine

    • Loosen feet and work shims out

    • Cause fretting corrosion and destruction to the machine base

    Steel shims help adjust and level the feet of a machine base, frame, or sole plate so that all the foot points make contact.
