Shims for defence and military
Shims and spacers for defence, made to your drawing
Shims and spacers for defence vehicles, shelters, radar and optics mounts, ground equipment and test rigs, made to your drawing in stainless steel, brass and steel.
Where defence equipment uses shims
Mounts for optics, antennas and sensors must be aligned precisely, and heavy equipment sits on vehicles, shelters and frames that are never perfectly flat. Shims level and align these mounts, and are easy to adjust in the field.
What we make
- U-shim kits and packing plates in stainless steel, brass and mild steel, 0.05 to 6 mm
- Shim rings for bearings and shafts in rotating equipment
- Custom outlines with holes and slots, cut to your drawing
- Metalwork around the shims: storage crates, lockers, tool trolleys and equipment racks
Vendor and quality requirements
Defence buyers set their own vendor and quality requirements (for example registration with the relevant quality-assurance authority, or vendor registration with a defence public-sector unit). Tell us what applies to your order, and we confirm plainly whether we can meet it.
