SHIM (Raymond RA115-000-053)

A worn shim can cause excessive clearance between mating components, leading to accelerated wear or misalignment. During assembly, a shim restores proper spacing and reduces vibration between parts. The aftermarket replacement shim cross-references Raymond part number RA115-000-053. Its plain mechanical function is to fill a gap between two surfaces to achieve a specified tolerance. A common failure consequence is that a missing or undersized shim allows metal-on-metal contact, which can damage both surfaces. Keeping a shim in sound condition helps maintain consistent clamping force and alignment. Verify the serial number or application, then call (562) 693-7748.
