Power plant machinery requires precise alignment, and selecting the correct SS Shim Plates is key. Common types include flat plates for general leveling and spacing, tapered plates for correcting angular misalignment, stackable plates for achieving custom thicknesses, and fully customized plates for unique machinery dimensions. Each type serves a specific purpose, ensuring accurate load distribution and reducing stress on bearings, shafts, and couplings.
Flat SS shim plates are ideal for routine turbine and generator adjustments, while tapered plates correct uneven surfaces. Stackable plates offer flexibility for precise tolerance adjustments, and custom plates ensure perfect fit for specialized machinery. Using a combination of these plates ensures optimal alignment, improved operational efficiency, and protection against premature wear. Proper selection and usage of stainless steel shim plates are fundamental for reliable and efficient power plant operations.
