Shim for Hyster

The shim with part number 247099 is a precision component measuring .020 inches in thickness. It is used in Hyster machinery to adjust clearances, align mechanical parts, and compensate for manufacturing tolerances within various assemblies. By providing an exact spacing, this component ensures that rotating or moving parts, such as gears, bearings, and shafts, maintain the necessary clearance to operate effectively within the machine systems.

This shim is compatible with Hyster equipment, where it is frequently utilized during the assembly and maintenance of transmissions, differentials, and other mechanical systems. The use of this specific thickness allows technicians to achieve the required fitment and alignment necessary for the proper operation of these assemblies.

In mechanical systems, shims are used to fill gaps between two objects, often to support, adjust, or provide a level surface. They are essential for setting the correct end play in shafts and ensuring that gear meshes are properly aligned to prevent excessive friction or binding during operation.
