Where is the 110147 SHIM used?

The SHIM, RESERVOIR MOUNTING 110147 is a very small component used in oil drilling top drive systems, specifically in TDS-11SA and TDS-9SA models. This precision-engineered part serves as an essential spacing and alignment element in the reservoir mounting assembly of these sophisticated drilling systems. The SHIM 110147 series, available in various thicknesses (.002, .005, .010, and .031), enables proper adjustment and optimal performance of the reservoir within the top drive system. These components are vital for maintaining operational integrity in demanding oil and gas exploration environments where equipment reliability directly impacts productivity and safety.

SHIM 110147 Function in Top Drive Systems

The primary function of the SHIM 110147 in top drive systems is to provide precise spacing and alignment between the reservoir and its mounting surface. These seemingly simple components play a crucial role in the overall performance and longevity of TDS-11SA and TDS-9SA top drive systems. The SHIM 110147 series comes in four different thickness specifications - .002 (110147-1), .005 (110147-2), .010 (110147-3), and .031 (110147-4) - allowing for exact adjustments during installation or maintenance procedures. This precision is essential because even minor misalignments in the reservoir mounting can lead to fluid leakage, pressure inconsistencies, or premature component wear. By using the appropriate SHIM 110147 variant, maintenance teams can achieve optimal reservoir positioning, ensuring proper fluid dynamics and preventing potential issues that could lead to costly downtime. Global Machinery Supply offers these components under their part numbers 11S00066, 11S00067, 11S00068, and 11S00069, manufactured to exact specifications to match OEM performance standards.

Maintenance Benefits of Quality SHIM 110147 Replacements

Regular replacement of the SHIM 110147 components delivers significant maintenance benefits for drilling operations utilizing TDS-11SA and TDS-9SA top drive systems. When these precision shims become worn or damaged, the reservoir mounting can develop alignment issues that compromise system performance and potentially lead to more serious equipment failures. By incorporating quality SHIM 110147 replacements into preventative maintenance schedules, drilling operations can extend the service life of their expensive top drive systems while minimizing unexpected downtime. Global Machinery Supply's SHIM 110147 alternatives (11S00066, 11S00067, 11S00068, and 11S00069) offer distinct cost advantages over OEM parts without compromising on quality or dimensional accuracy. These ISO 9001-certified components are manufactured to precise specifications matching the original 110147-1, 110147-2, 110147-3, and 110147-4 parts. The availability of these shims in various thicknesses (.002, .005, .010, and .031) ensures maintenance teams can make perfect adjustments during reservoir mounting procedures, optimizing system performance while extending component lifespan.
