Shims for Vacuum Pumps

Shims in vacuum pumps are used for adjustment and alignment purposes. They help in maintaining the correct clearance between various moving parts, ensuring the pump operates efficiently and effectively. For instance, in rotary vane pumps, shims might be used to adjust the clearance between the vanes and the pump chamber to optimize performance. They can also be used to align bearings or other components within the pump to prevent wear and tear. Overall, shims are essential for the fine-tuning and long-term maintenance of vacuum pumps, ensuring they deliver the desired vacuum level and operate smoothly over time. Precision Plus shims are engineered to meet or exceed the performance requirements of the OEM shim.
