Aircraft & Aerospace Shims
Total Precision and Reliability for the Aerospace Industry
Precision is essential in the aerospace industry. In harsh, high-stakes environments, all parts of an aircraft must be durable and dependable. Shims are found everywhere in a plane, from the wings to the landing gears, and are relied on for production and maintenance. They need to tolerate these adverse conditions for the aircraft to function properly.
Turn to Artus for your precision aerospace shim and shim stock needs. At Artus, we understand the demands of the aerospace industry. We manufacture shims and shim stock with durable materials and total precision for greater reliability. We have worked with trusted brands like Boeing and NASA and have over 80 years of manufacturing experience to ensure our custom shims and shim stock meet exact specifications. In fact, lab technicians commonly calibrate testing equipment using Artus shims because of our rigorous precision.
Artus aerospace shims can be custom cut to any size or shape required and in any material, including stainless steel, low carbon steel, and brass. Our shim and shim stock materials are remarkably durable, rust-proof, non-hygroscopic, impervious to oil, and economical. Best of all, plastic and aluminum shims are color-coded to save time and reduce errors.
Our state-of-the-art manufacturing process is what enables our precision. With full-production capabilities and in-house manufacturing, Artus offers fast delivery times and scalability.

The Color Tells the Thickness
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 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.
