Detailed Description
The 4850222 SHIM VOLVO may appear simple, but its function is foundational to the stability and performance of VOLVO heavy machinery. When installed in rotating assemblies or structural joints, this shim ensures exact spacing—critical for preventing component misalignment, vibration, and stress accumulation.
Improper alignment can lead to increased friction, wear, and premature failure in connected parts such as bearings, gears, and seals. By inserting the 4850222 SHIM VOLVO, engineers can precisely adjust tolerances and maintain axial balance within the mechanical structure.
This shim features five uniformly drilled mounting holes, allowing for secure installation within fixed assemblies. These holes provide tight coupling with flange bolts, reducing the risk of slippage or movement under dynamic loads. Its corrosion-resistant finish and high-quality steel composition allow it to retain its structural integrity in high-load, high-temperature conditions typically found in construction and mining equipment.
Each shim is laser cut or CNC-machined to achieve uniform flatness and precise thickness—qualities that are crucial in equipment operating under constant vibration or directional pressure.
Key Features
• Precision Fitment: Engineered with tight tolerances to ensure accurate mechanical spacing.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-grade steel to withstand wear and stress.
• Corrosion Resistance: Protected surface finish for long life in wet or dusty conditions.
• Bolt-Ready Design: Five precision-drilled holes provide stable mounting options.
• Multi-Application Use: Suitable for drive, gearbox, or joint installations.
• Supplied by 3GEN Export: OEM-grade, shipped globally within 5 working days.
Compatible VOLVO Models
The 4850222 SHIM VOLVO is compatible with a wide range of VOLVO construction and excavation machinery. Below are some of the VOLVO models that utilize this component:
• VOLVO EC210 Series Excavators
• VOLVO EC240C Excavators
• VOLVO EC290 Excavators
• VOLVO L120 Wheel Loaders
• VOLVO L150F Wheel Loaders
• VOLVO A25D and A30D Articulated Haulers
• VOLVO G930 Motor Graders
Whether you’re maintaining excavators, loaders, or articulated trucks, this shim is commonly used in key locations such as the final drive assembly, swing gear hubs, or wheel motor flanges, offering both reliability and simplicity during installation.
Role in Excavating Systems
Precision alignment is everything in high-performance construction machinery. The 4850222 SHIM VOLVO is engineered to help technicians fine-tune axial clearances between moving components. In particular, shims like this are essential for:
• Maintaining gear mesh tolerances
• Reducing bearing stress
• Preventing mechanical drift under heavy torque
• Aligning flanged connections in powertrains and drivetrain assemblies
By maintaining exact clearances, this shim prevents excessive heat generation, component noise, and energy loss—ultimately contributing to smoother operation and longer equipment lifespan.
Maintenance and Replacement Guidelines
Though shims do not actively move, they are subject to wear due to environmental exposure and mechanical stress. Regular maintenance checks should include:
• Inspection for warping or flattening
• Checking for corrosion, rust, or pitting
• Ensuring mounting holes are not elongated or deformed
Any signs of damage or wear should prompt immediate replacement using a trusted OEM-compatible option like the 4850222 SHIM VOLVO. Installation requires basic mechanical tools and torque specifications per VOLVO’s service guidelines.
