For the selection of shims, certain conditions must be met in terms of shaping elements, material and thickness of the part. Detailed specifications can be found below.
The tolerance varies depending on the thickness and the material.
Other stainless steels are available with a plate thickness of 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm. 1.4301 equiv. (H) has a higher precision. (The tolerance of the plate thickness for standard materials is ±10 % [reference value only]).
