Description of MS-26
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.
Packaging sizes:
Two part (room temperature storage)
- 1 lb (pt.), 3 lb (qt.), 10 lb (gal.) – Kits
- 200 g sem-kit/tech-kit mix in tube
- Field kits (100 g / 50 g) with premeasured catalyst
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)
