JCB Wear Pad Shim 0.5mm - 162/01130
Adjustment shim (spacer plate) is used in the telescopic boom system of JCB machinery. Its primary task is to eliminate play that develops between the boom sections and the main wear pads. By using a 0.5 mm thick shim, it is possible to achieve a perfect fit of the guiding elements, which eliminates boom vibrations and improves the precision of attachment operation.
Technical Specification:
- Thickness: 0.5 mm.
- Application: Adjustment of boom section (telescope) clearance.
Compatibility with JCB Machinery:
| Machine Category | Models |
|---|
| Telescopic Handlers |
504, 505, 520, 525, 526, 527, 530 |
Workshop Technical Tip: Proper adjustment of boom clearance is crucial for operational safety. Excessive play causes the sections to strike each other, which can lead to structural cracks in the boom. When installing adjustment shims, always check the condition of the wear pad mounting bolts – if they are stretched or have damaged threads, they must be replaced. Also, remember to lubricate the sliding surfaces with a dedicated boom lubricant after adjusting the clearance to minimize friction and noise.
