⚙️ Key Features

• 0.002 inch thick
• Finest step in the series
• 320 applications across five drive series
• Supersedes 3842163

🔌 Function

Sets and adjusts a shaft or gear position by a precise thickness, so backlash and preload land within specification.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Gear whine or growl that varies with load
• Backlash or preload readings outside specification
• Shim dished, burred or fretted when removed
• Tooth contact pattern off-centre after a rebuild
• Residual shaft play that will not shim out

🛠️ Service Notes

• The published weight in this series is the same for the 0.002 inch and 0.010 inch shims, so weight cannot tell them apart and you must order by number
• Use this thickness for the last fine adjustment, building the bulk of the stack from 3842165
• Keep the shim faces clean and dry when measuring the stack
