Zwischenscheibe

In this context, it is meant to be a washer for adjustment. Therefore it should be "Zwischenscheibe". You add or subtract them to achieve a certain height or distance. It is the same as "Unterlegscheibe", just very often manufactured to a tighter thickness tolerance, to achieve the desired result. The tolerance on shim washers depend on the application.

agree Harry Bornemann : I agree, but Passscheibe would be even more specific

Yes, you could use that as well. Depending on the business. We're using it as Zwischenscheibe in our engineering company.
