1107628, 110-7628 SHIM CATERPILLAR

Precision Alignment Shim for Caterpillar Heavy Machinery

The 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR (also referred to as 110-7628) is a precision-engineered spacer designed to provide accurate alignment, spacing, and load distribution across critical components in Caterpillar heavy machinery. This durable shim ensures that parts are correctly positioned within assemblies, maintaining structural balance and reducing mechanical stress during operation.

Supplied worldwide by 3GEN Export, this OEM-quality part offers the exact fit, performance, and reliability expected in Caterpillar equipment. Built from high-grade steel and manufactured with micron-level precision, the 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR ensures consistency, safety, and long-lasting functionality in demanding applications such as mining, construction, and earthmoving.

Function and Importance of the 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR

In Caterpillar machinery, the 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR serves as an essential component in maintaining tight mechanical tolerances and proper clearances between interconnected parts. Shims are used in powertrain assemblies, axle mounts, and hydraulic systems to achieve optimal positioning and ensure smooth mechanical operation.

This shim absorbs vibration, distributes pressure evenly, and compensates for manufacturing tolerances or wear over time. By maintaining proper spacing, it helps reduce friction, heat generation, and premature wear — extending the service life of adjoining components such as bearings, gears, and shafts.

In short, the 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR contributes directly to the precision and efficiency of Caterpillar machines by keeping assemblies perfectly aligned under extreme operating conditions.

Key Features and Benefits

1. High-Precision Engineering

Each 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR is CNC-machined to tight dimensional tolerances. This ensures an exact thickness and flatness for precise component alignment and even pressure distribution.

2. High-Strength Steel Construction

Made from premium carbon or alloy steel, the shim resists compression and deformation even under intense clamping forces. Its strength ensures dimensional stability throughout the part’s lifespan.

3. Corrosion-Resistant Finish

The surface is treated with a protective anti-rust coating, which offers exceptional resistance to moisture, oil, and environmental contaminants. This ensures consistent performance in both indoor and outdoor applications.

4. Multi-Hole Design for Stability

The 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR features a four-hole configuration that provides secure bolt fastening and prevents lateral movement during operation, ensuring stable positioning under vibration.

5. OEM Specification and Compatibility

Supplied by 3GEN Export, this shim is manufactured to Caterpillar OEM standards, guaranteeing a seamless fit into the corresponding housing or mounting assembly without modification.

Engineering and Manufacturing Excellence

Precision Machining

The 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR is produced using CNC-controlled milling machines, ensuring a consistent and exact thickness. The high-quality machining eliminates surface irregularities, resulting in perfect fitment and load balance.

Surface Treatment

To resist oxidation and surface degradation, the shim undergoes a zinc-phosphate or black oxide coating process. This adds a protective barrier that enhances durability and reduces wear in high-moisture or abrasive conditions.

Load-Bearing Efficiency

The four-hole bolt pattern evenly distributes pressure, preventing localized stress that could lead to warping or distortion under continuous mechanical load.

Functional Benefits in Industrial Use

• Maintains Structural Alignment: Ensures precise positioning of mechanical components.

• Reduces Wear and Friction: Prevents metal-to-metal contact between mating parts.

• Increases Equipment Longevity: Maintains correct tolerances, extending service life.

• Simplifies Maintenance: Easily replaceable during periodic overhauls.

• Resists Environmental Damage: Coated for protection against rust and humidity.

Application Areas in Caterpillar Machinery

The 1107628 SHIM CATERPILLAR is commonly found in the following Caterpillar systems:

• Powertrain Assemblies: Provides proper gear alignment and bearing spacing in transmissions and axles.

• Hydraulic Brackets: Ensures precision positioning of pump housings and control valve mounts.

• Frame and Chassis Systems: Maintains geometry and prevents misalignment in suspension and linkage points.

• Engine Mounting Assemblies: Absorbs vibration and maintains torque balance between connected surfaces.

Its multi-functional use makes it one of the most critical components for Caterpillar’s mechanical precision and assembly integrity.

Installation and Maintenance

Installation Procedure

1. Clean the mating surfaces thoroughly to remove debris, oil, or rust.
