NU-LOK SHIMS
Independent floating shim technology
NUCAP's independent floating shim technology gives our shims superior noise reduction properties. The NU-LOK shim combines the integrity of a mechanical lock shim with the superior noise dampening capabilities and resistance to shear-based damage of Japanese-style OE shims. Along with enhanced attachment simplicity resulting in faster, more cost efficient production, the NU-LOK shim is a true win-win.

Geometry and attachment method
Design excellence and engineering integrity from NUCAP
All NUCAP designed shims reflect the quality and detail required for engineered solutions, including shim profiles that maximize plate coverage, and designing in tolerances at critical abutments for NU-LOK's floating action during load.
NU-LOK on the brake pad
The locking "fingers" provide a secure attachment to the plate, via their NU-LOK design. Each shim is designed to maximize attachment and spring action required to optimize its anti-noise performance. The NU-LOK design requires tensioning to spread fingers open during application. Each of the NU-LOK fingers remains under tension in the "locked" position.
Easy 2-step attachment
Attaching NU-LOK to the brake pad assembly is a simple operation requiring no machines, riveting or specialized labour.
