Steel Shim Kit Type

Our steel shim kits are mainly categorized by outer diameter, inner locating dimension and thickness, designed for shock absorber valve stack assembly. Based on our product catalog, ready‑to‑stock shim dimensions cover outer diameters from 9.00 mm up to 16.00 mm, standard inner locating dimension 6.00 mm, with thickness options including 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.30 mm and 0.50 mm. Each standard size carries minimum order quantity of 500 pieces.

  • Standard off‑the‑shelf shim kit: fixed OD × thickness × inner locating size for motorcycle & small‑bore dampers

  • Mixed‑thickness combination shim kit: pre‑assorted stacks for suspension tuning and damper rebuilding

  • Custom‑made steel shim kit: tailor‑made outer diameter, inner hole, thickness according to customer drawings or physical samples

Different steel shim kit type matches compression valve, rebound valve and base valve requirements for street bikes, motocross motorcycles and performance automotive dampers.

Steel Shim Kit Material

Performance and service life of suspension shim kits largely depend on steel shim kit material selection. Bonpora adopts high‑grade spring steel imported and domestic steel grades for shim production, strictly controlling non‑metallic inclusion inside raw material coils.

  • Sandvik 20C: premium spring steel for high‑level motorsport, excellent anti‑fatigue performance under repeated bending cycles

  • SK4 / SK5: widely‑used spring steel grade, balanced hardness and flatness for general racing and aftermarket dampers

  • C100S: high‑carbon spring steel for stable valving performance

  • 65Mn: cost‑effective spring steel for mass‑volume aftermarket replacement shim kits

We perform incoming material inspection for every steel coil batch. Raw‑material certification can be provided upon buyer request, to avoid early fatigue fracture, warping and inconsistent damping curves caused by inferior steel.

Steel Shim Kit Craft

Superior steel shim kit craft guarantees tight dimensional tolerance, outstanding flatness, burr‑free edges and stable mechanical property, which directly decides predictable shim‑stack behavior inside shock absorbers.

  1. Raw‑material preparation & incoming inspection: Verify steel grade, coil thickness, surface quality and inclusion index before production.

  2. Precision stamping / blanking: High‑precision progressive die punching to form circular valve‑shim blanks.

  3. Heat‑treatment process: Quenching and tempering for target hardness, improving bending fatigue resistance.

  4. Surface finishing & deburring: Remove micro burrs on inner & outer edges to prevent scratching piston and adjacent shims during operation.

  5. Dimensional & flatness inspection: Check thickness tolerance, outer‑diameter accuracy and flatness for each production batch.

  6. Sorting, counting and packaging: Classify by size and thickness, moisture‑proof packaging for sea‑export logistics.

Every production step keeps traceable quality records. Buyers can review process documents during remote factory inspection sessions.

Steel Shim Kit China Factory Remote Factory Inspection

Many global purchasers cannot travel to China for on‑site supplier vetting. As a professional steel shim kit china factory, Bonpora supports complete remote factory inspection via scheduled live‑video streaming.

  • Live tour of stamping workshop, heat‑treatment station, QC inspection lab and raw‑material warehouse

  • On‑camera demonstration of shim‑kit production craft and batch quality‑control procedures

  • Review of raw‑material certificates, dimension‑testing reports and finished‑goods sampling records

  • Real‑time Q&A with our production engineers and quality managers

  • Provide screenshot, screen‑recording and supporting files for buyers’ internal supplier‑approval archives

Remote factory inspection helps overseas buyers verify our real manufacturing capability without expensive international business trips, suitable for pre‑audit before placing mass steel‑shim‑kit orders.
