MS-26 moldable shims are filled epoxy resin compounds used to shim gaps in metal or composite assemblies. Originally developed for use in airframe assemblies, the moldable shims are now used in a wide variety of equipment alignment applications as well as land, air and sea applications.
Use
Shimming gaps and offsets at the assembly level (metal and composites)
Cast in place shim, forming complex contours on parts machined undersize at detail level
As a layer, over rough machined parts, eliminating finish machining
Close tolerance molding to produce accurate and identical parts
Repair of dents, holes and faring applications
Economical correction of tooling
Alignment of heavy machine or motor parts
Alignment of propulsion systems (marine applications, chocking)
