Shim Calculator
Formula:
(X)(m1)=n, (n)/(m2)=s
Formula Key:
X = Number of shims of the size you want to replace.
M1= Factor of the shim you want to replace.
M2=Factor of the shim you want to replace it with.
S= The number of shims you need to use.
Lists of Shim Thickness and Factors (M)
Thickness Factor
.1mm = 1
.15mm = 3.4
.2mm = 8
.25mm = 15.6
.3mm = 27
Working Example:
We have (7) .15mm’s
We would like to replace with .2mm’s.
(7)(3.4)=23.8
(23.8)/(8)=3 shims
