How to get it started?
Get Your Precision Shim Solution in 3 Simple Steps:
1. Identify the Tolerance Challenge
Determine the assembly tolerances that require adjustment during production. This may include machining, component selection based on tolerance ranges, or the use of shims. Document all adjustment methods currently applied during assembly.
2. Inquire a Custom Shim Recommendation
Share your shim drawing (DXF, PDF, CAD, STP) for an expert review and a personalised quotation tailored to your tolerance requirements.
3. Install for Precision and Performance
Apply your customised precision shim solution during assembly to achieve precise fits, reduce rework, and minimise costly internal processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about precision shims, industrial shims, and working with Shim Solution.
What are precision shims?
Precision shims are thin, accurately manufactured components used to fill assembly gaps, align parts, and control tolerances during production. They are available in fixed-thickness solid formats or as multi-layer peelable versions that allow on-site thickness adjustments without remachining.
What industries use industrial shims?
Industrial shims are used across a wide range of sectors including steel rolling, gearbox and drive technology, aerospace, defence, fans and turbines, space technology, cabin interiors, and marine applications. Wherever precise alignment and tolerance control are required, shims are a critical component.
What types of precision shims does Shim Solution manufacture?
Shim Solution manufactures four core ranges: Lamisol solid shims, Laminum peelable laminated shims, Laminum HP high-precision laminated shims, and Lamivario edge-connected shims. Standard solutions including alignment shims, shim rings, ball bearing shims, and slotted shims are also available.
Can I order custom precision shims?
Yes. Shim Solution supplies custom precision shims tailored to your specific geometry and tolerance requirements. Submit a drawing in DXF, PDF, CAD, or STP format to receive a personalised quotation. Sample shipments are available to confirm feasibility before a full production run.
What materials are available for machinery shims?
Shim Solution produces machinery shims in a range of metals as well as engineering plastics including PET and POM. Material selection depends on the application environment, load requirements, and tolerance specifications.
Is Shim Solution a certified shim manufacturer?
Yes. Shim Solution by Georg Martin GmbH holds DIN EN ISO 9001 for Quality Management, DIN EN ISO 14001 for Environmental Management, and DIN EN 9100 for Aerospace Quality Management.
What is a peelable shim and when should I use one?
A peelable shim is a laminated shim made up of many thin bonded layers. Individual layers can be peeled away to fine-tune the total thickness on site, without removing the assembly or remachining. The Laminum range is ideal for applications that require quick on-site adjustments during installation or maintenance.
