1 Scope and field of application
‘Shim rings are designed to prevent machine components from moving axially. The preterted application of these rings is to
‘compensate for the play of such components where secuted by circlips as specified in DIN 471 and DIN472, OIN983 and
DIN 984 or lock washers as specitied in DIN 6799. Shim rings may only be used where the contact faces aresmooth. They shall
‘not suffer any deformation when used with components that have rounded edges (shaft collars, stepped Noles),
‘Supporting rings are intended for use with circlips or lock washers to ensure that do not deform when subjected to excessive
‘axial forces as may be expected where the edges of machine components are rounded or chamfered.
‘Supporting rings may be used in combination with shim rings,

The itlustration applies
by analogy for rings
used in bores.

{ghoul be noted that where shim rings and/or supporting rings are used as part of rolling bearings, there may be the risk of
the rings scraping against projecting parts of the cage, or the inner or outer bearing ring,

3. Technical delivery conditions
3.1 Material
‘Shim rings shall be made from steeio! atleast grade St2K 50s specified in DIN 1624, whereas spring stee! with ahardness of 440
to 500 HV 10 as specified in DIN 17 222 shall be used for supporting rings.
3.2. Finish
‘Shim rings shall have a type BK surface appearance as specified in DIN 1624, and be oiled.
‘Supporting rings with a thickness of 1.5mm or less shall have a type BK surface appearance as specified in DIN 17 222, and be
either oiled, or phosphated and oiled (at the manufacturer's discretion), as shall be supporting rings ofa larger thickness, which,
however, shall have ground side faces.
3.3. Camber
The camber shall be determined by axially loading the ring, placed between two parallel platens, with testload Fc, to be calculated
from ¢= hi" ~ hy Shall NOt exceed the values specified in table 3 or 4
