Tuning Shims for Precise Fit

Hatroi HA171 provides slender copper washers made for model maintenance and tuning sessions. These shims are useful for spacing, soft sealing, and lowering direct metal contact inside compact assemblies. The compatibility markers YS4C-53 and OS4C-91 are included as reference fit codes.

Use cases include fine-tuning clearance between mating components, adding a soft sealing layer where a malleable metal is desirable, and protecting threads and bearing surfaces from direct wear. Their small form factor makes them ideal where minute thickness changes influence handling or backlash.

Installation guidance: prepare surfaces by removing dirt or grease before placing a washer, combine washers to reach the desired thickness only when needed, and avoid overtightening which can squash copper washers. Confirm fit and function after reassembly to ensure correct spacing or sealing.

Material characteristics: copper's pliability allows slight conforming under load, often chosen for minor sealing and conductivity needs in hobby models. Keep the set flat in storage and handle with suitable small tools to avoid bending during installation.

Model Compatibility

  • YS4C-53
  • OS4C-91
Small changes in shim stack height alter gear mesh and bearing preload. Add or remove a washer to dial in the correct clearance and avoid binding.
Yes; thin copper shims are often used to take up minimal slack in linkages and pivots without introducing hard contact. Check movement after fitting.
Avoid excessive torque on thin copper washers. Tighten progressively and verify the component still moves freely where required.
