You need exact positioning and alignment for your industrial equipment in order to reduce wear and maintain optimal performance. For over 80 years, Artus has been delivering custom shim, shim stock, and gasket solutions. We work with and develop long-lasting relationships with leading industrial manufacturers, such as Stanley Black and Decker and The Timken Company, a major gearbox manufacturer.

Artus shims and shim stock are remarkably durable, rust-proof, non-hygroscopic, impervious to oil, and economical. Best of all, plastic and aluminum shims are color-coded specifically to save time on industrial manufacturing.

Each color represents a specific shim thickness, making distinguishing between thicknesses quick and easy. With variations in shim thickness being as little as 0.00025”, differentiating by the color instead of measuring shims drastically saves time and reduces errors on the production floor.

Just contact us, give us your blueprint specifications and tolerance requirements, and receive perfect positioning and alignment with our precision-cut shims.

Artus shims can be custom cut in any shape, any size, and a variety of thicknesses and materials to fit your industrial equipment needs.

We are most experienced with manufacturing shims for bearing preloads and gearboxes, but we have served over 20,000 customers and have seen it all.

Other popular uses for our shims are any machinery, machining tools, motors, and powertrains.
