Specifications for Metric DIN 988 Shim Rings

Metric & Multistandard Components Corp. stocks precision DIN 988 shims manufactured from hardened spring steel. Hardened spring steel is an ideal material for round shims as it has a high yield strength, allowing shim rings to bend, twist, and compress before returning to their original shape and providing high-level performances in metric assemblies. Additional round shim specifications include:

Outer diameters from 6 to 100
Inner diameters from 3 to 80
Thicknesses from 0.1 to 3
