Shim for P&H RT-160

The 1020Z7986 shim is a precision component measuring 0.005 inches in thickness. It is engineered to adjust clearances, compensate for wear, and ensure correct alignment between mechanical parts within the assembly. By filling small gaps between components, this shim facilitates the fine adjustments required for the proper operation of bearings, gears, shafts, and other mechanical joints.

This part is compatible with P&H RT-160, P&H RT-175, Terex RT 160, and Terex RT 175 rough-terrain cranes. It is commonly utilized in critical areas where precise spacing is required, such as within the slewing system, boom pivots, transmission axle supports, or undercarriage mechanisms. Maintaining these specific tolerances is necessary for the stability and operational efficiency of the crane.

Shims function as essential spacing elements in heavy machinery. They allow maintenance technicians to achieve exact mechanical fits that are otherwise difficult to maintain due to manufacturing tolerances or gradual wear. Proper installation of these shims helps maintain the integrity of the assembly by ensuring that mating surfaces remain correctly positioned during operation.
