Hi Guys... Looking to try and source 0.01 or 0.02mm thick sheet metal to cut to size myself and fit as a shim on a big end bearing. Anyone know where to get this kind of thing? Have been doing a bit of ringing around but so far no luck. Same kind of thickness as you'd get for some feeler gauges etc.
Any engineering shop or bearing I think some hardware shops have it brass is best for those types of tolerances used it as a fitter for everything
Hmm.. most places only stock 10 thou (0.254mm) or at a stretch 5 thou (0.127mm) which is still too much. An aluminium can is just under 5 thou. Best I've found is aluminium foil which is just over 1 thou (0.0254mm). Clearance limit on this particular bearing is 0.08mm and I'm right on the border so I guess that will have to do.
Hey you are looking to try cut thik sheet of metal and want fit on big end bearing i think this is not bad idea if you know how to cut, if does not know i think you should contact with experts. walshequipment.com.au/fabrication
