Custom Precision Shims for Power Transmission and Gearbox Manufacturers
When manufacturing gearboxes and other drivetrain components, you must consider the precision and reliability of the shims inside. Shims help align gears correctly and set bearing preloads to ensure a smooth operation. If they are not precisely cut, the drivetrain will not function optimally.
Lead times and availability are also crucial. The last thing you need is for production to be halted while you wait for a shim delivery. You need quickly sourced shims cut to your specifications.
Artus understands your needs. We have over 80 years of experience supplying precision stainless steel shims to drivetrain and gearbox manufacturers like Philadelphia Gear, Grove Gear, and Cotta Transmission. In addition to experience, our in-house tooling, waterjet cutting, and laser cutting capabilities keep lead times and costs low.
Our aluminum and steel shim materials are remarkably durable, rust-proof, non-hygroscopic, and impervious to oil. You won’t find higher quality shim materials at a better price. Aluminum shims are also color-coded to save time and reduce errors.

The Color Tells the Thickness
Each color of our plastic shims and gaskets represents a specific shim stock 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.
Contact us, give us your blueprint specifications and tolerance requirements, and receive perfect seals with our precision-cut gaskets.
