Description
Artus commits to helping you save on costs without compromising on quality. We buy inexpensive steel rule dies and quality raw materials in large quantities to reduce costs. We make cost-saving steel rule dies in 2 to 3 days, reducing the lead time on initial orders for new shim designs. There are no set-up charges on future orders.
You can learn more about Artus plastic and metal shims from our shim and gasket brochure. Timken Shims are available for cone-and-cup-adjusted tapered roller bearings (see brochure). We also manufacture shim stock and slotted shims to whatever specifications you need.

The Color Tells the Thickness
Color-coded products are available in aluminum and plastic for your convenience. Each color represents a specific thickness, making distinguishing between thicknesses quick and easy. Shim thickness varies as little as 0.00035”. Differentiating by color instead of measuring can save time and reduce errors.
