A Shim is designed to fill the space between the Pad and the boom, ensuring a snug fit and eliminating looseness in the connection. It is typically located between the Pad and the Boom frame, ensuring secure mounting of the Pad. It compensates for any variations in the mating surface that occur during operation.Attributes:• Better wear and tear resistance• Withstands mechanical stresses without deformation or bendingApplications:A Shim is used in a Boom to increase the space between the Pad and the Boom Frame, ensuring reduced friction between them.
