Field Installation Tips Using Shim Solutions

 Installing correct shimming solutions starts with measuring gap or alignment error under torque. Begin with precut shims, add stainless steel shims or brass shim sheet for fine adjustments, and lock with ss shim plate as needed. Always clean the base, check fit under tension, then torque bolts diagonally to retain position.

Shim sheet metal can also be layered to correct thermal expansion errors after welding. Indian shim manufacturers supply material in standardized logs, making replacements consistent. With this methodical process, pumps, compressors, and bases stay aligned over time—saving hours in maintenance.
